Plum rich. Japanese Umebishi. Later on, changed into juicy, cherry. Good match with Japanese style of grilled sea eel. Philippe Chéron Reserve du Couvent Les Jumelles Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2019 @1280, domaine -, 220629-220715 — 4 years ago
Cherry, tobacco, and blueberry. Light bodied but still rounded and bold. I like this, would love to pair with a lamb chop. — a year ago
2019 vintage. Another great second wine from Cru Classé Couvent des Jacobins. Elegance, purity of fruit, velvety tannin, freshness, and very good length. This definitely has some of the class of the grand vin, in a more immediately approachable style. Abv. 14,5%. — 2 years ago
2016 vintage. 62% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark red with some orange evolution on the rim. Raspberries and cedar wood , with truffles lurking in the background. Medium-bodied, with slightly jammy red fruit. The tannins are not as velvety as both the 2020 and 2022, but still there is a good balance,complexity and length. Maybe closing down a bit, the future will tell. However, I don't see this ever reaching the level of the 2020 and certainly not 2022. Outperformed by the 2016 Couvent des Jacobins tasted alongside.

Gentle and calm aroma with concentration and forest like. Solid structure. Plum, blueberry. Tannic. Acidic. Enough decanting like 2 hours is necessary. Domaine du Couvent Clos du Meix des Ouches Monopole Gevrey Chambertin Pinot Noir 2020 @2800, domaine, 230701 — 3 years ago
