Blend and vinification

Made from Chardonnay, Burgundy’s flagship grape, the Couvent des Jacobins 2024 follows a craft-driven approach where grape selection and meticulous attention at every stage aim for purity and a clear fruit expression. The house’s philosophy is to preserve the grape’s identity and the vintage’s momentum, favouring a winemaking style that seeks balance rather than effect. Careful, nuanced maturation highlights freshness, structure and aromatic precision. The magnum format respects the wine’s natural rhythm and accentuates its harmony, offering a more composed palate, a slower breathing and that soft amplitude typical of fine gastronomic bottles. The whole expression is delivered with accuracy, without artifice, yielding a straight, refined and desirable Chardonnay.

Tasting notes

• Appearance: Clear and luminous, edged with delicate highlights that promise a crisp, chiselled framework. The brightness suggests freshness and clarity, foreshadowing an elegant palate.
• Nose: A precise yet delicate bouquet carried by white fruit and a hint of citrus, wrapped in floral touches and a fine mineral thread. Overall it evokes the purity and elegance of a measuredly crafted Chardonnay.
• Palate: A lively, polished attack, a broad and silky mid-palate supported by a straight acidity that stretches the finish. The impression is clean and savoury, with a recurrent note of fresh fruit and a subtle salinity that invites food.

Serving temperature and tips

To reveal its nuances with flair, serve this wine cool but not ice-cold, in tulip-shaped glasses that concentrate the bouquet and the delicacy of the texture. A gentle aeration is often enough to unveil extra complexity, especially in magnum, where balance unfolds with particular grace. Avoid thermal shocks and prefer a calm service so the wine can find its bearing. The elegance of the gesture matters as much as precise service to preserve the profile’s purity and the cuvée’s gastronomic character.

Food pairings

• Refined aperitifs: briny bites, compound butters, delicate fish rillettes. The delicate liveliness gives lift while the roundness supports the moment.
• Seafood cuisine: grilled or lightly seared fish, shellfish and crustaceans, lemon-based sauces. The tension supports the dish’s contours while the texture carries the savouriness.
• Delicate poultry and veal: light pan sauces, cream, fine herbs. The wine embraces the dish without weighing it down for a nuanced pairing.
• Seasonal vegetable dishes: asparagus, root vegetables, herb risotto. The Chardonnay’s finesse dialogues with the vertical textures of vegetables.
• Selected cheeses: young pressed cheeses, mild goat cheeses. The freshness balances the fat while the finish restores vibrancy.
