Nested in the heart of the village of Saint-Emilion, Couvent des Jacobins has been a family-owned business since 1902. Jean Jean acquired the estate and his great great grandson Xavier is now continuing the tradition of the Grand Cru Classé with a hint of innovation. Thus, it is no surprise that once you enter the doors of Couvent, you head into a time-travel adventure. Couvent des Jacobins was certified in organic farming in fall 2020 ; ethic is a core value for both the owners and the staff.
The numerous experiences offered at Couvent are both original and playful whether you are visiting Saint-Emilion for work or during your vacation. The tours immerge couples, friends or families in the midst of the wine-making philosophy, and transport them on board of a tuk-tuk through the vines, the quarries and the cellars.
