Le Menut des Jacobins

St. Emilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

2022 vintage. Couvent des Jacobins has been making great wines for decades, but the recent wines are even better. This second wine is absolutely gorgeous and could be a Cru Classé in its own right. Beautiful nose with red fruit (raspberry, strawberry), flowers and a subtle hint of cedar. Impeccable purity of concentrated fruit, with freshness and velvety tannins. Perfectly integrated oak.Uncommon depth for a second wine. Long finish. Impressive. Abv. 14,5%. — 7 months ago

Couvent des Jacobins

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Probably my favorite St. Emillion. First had it at a restaurant in St. Emillion (2006 vintage?) and brought some back home. Had several 2009 vintage bottles since. Love this wine. — 2 months ago

Domaine de Montcy

Cour-Cheverny 2008

Amazing white wine made from Romorantin grapes which visually looks like it’s 3-5 years old, at most, this grape variety is related to Chardonnay, but WAY drier, the entire appellation is 120 acres/48 hectares in the Loire valley, really a super unique wine that apparently will age almost forever, mineral, loads of acidity, needs food (which I don’t have in front of me — waaah!!), longish finish!! As an aside, there is a great Loire chateau to visit in this area, called Chateau de Cheverny, which is still lived in/occupied, but is well worth a visit!! Really amazing wine!! — 4 months ago

I have some Cazin C-C (2002) in hiding, last time I had a bottle we were amazed at the longevity, I immediately bought whatever I could get for the current vintage at the time (2018) to continue the ongoing experiment for many years into the future... You are not crazy.
