Tasting Notes
There is something quite lactic here that reminds me of salted caramels and a hint of goat cheese. The fruit is solid, showing decent concentration from this lighter vintage. Fleshy and round with medium to full body and a juicy, medium-long finish.

Exhibiting aromas of dark berries, cherries and nicely integrated oak, the 2024 Couvent des Jacobins is medium-bodied, rich and fleshy, with lively acids and powdery tannins. It's a strong effort for the vintage.
The 2024 Couvent des Jacobins offers strawberry pastille and raspberry jus on the clean nose, though it lacks a bit of amplitude. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and focused, with supple tannins, but it feels a little monotone toward the finish. It's early drinking, but not bad for the vintage.
Espresso, licorice, cocoa, and plums fill the nose and palate of this round, soft, forward, fruity, medium-bodied wine. The finish, with its chocolate cherry and mint character, promises to make this an easy wine to enjoy on the young side. The wine blends 84% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot.
