Interesting spice, orange rind and vanilla mixture here, with good structure and lofty acidity creating flow and balance. Aged but still vivid. — 10 years ago
2019 vintage Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. Calicem is produced from a small vineyard (less than one hectare) adjacent to Grand Cru Classé Couvent des Jacobins whose owner bought it in 2015. It was planted in 1961/1962 with 100% Merlot from old clones.and it is vinified separately from Couvent des Jacobins (first vintage 2015).This beautiful 2019 is made in microscopic quantities (2188 bottles) with the "vinification intégrale" method which leads to a more gentle extraction and better wood integration. Winemaker Denis Pomarède and consulting oenologist Thomas Duclos did a great job in crafting a beautifully balanced wine with extraordinary elegance, purity, silky tannins and a long finish with an intriguing minerality. Don't expect a blockbuster, this is all about subtlety. Very impressive Saint-Emilion of Premier Grand Cru Classé quality, well worth trying to grab a bottle. Abv. 14,5 %. — 4 years ago

Vintage 2915 | Biowine. Obvious very young, dark colour with redbrown rim. I was attracted by the beautiful smell with many layers: pencil shaving, leather, tobacco and even roses. Way too young to be drunk but the potential is very clear. To put away in the cellar, far away in a cellar. — 4 years ago

Enooormissime !!! — 7 years ago
This is actually the kriek version of the great Cuvee de Jacobins Rouge, and it is fantastic! Great combination of funk and tart cherries on the nose, the palate is refined with the cherry component taking just enough off the edge of the sourness to make it perfectly balanced. Never had this before...but this will not be the last! — 9 years ago
Fabulous, could potentially age a year or two more but beautiful wine with black cherry on the front, spicy mid pallet and finishing with black berry tannins — 10 years ago
