1*Étoile
Hachette
"A gleaming wine with ruby highlights, a pure Merlot from clay soils, it is as flattering and successful as the 2005. Its delicate, almost caressing nose combines red fruit aromas with toasty notes, the hallmark of twelve months' barrel ageing. The round, woody attack reveals a beautiful body, a balanced structure supported by smooth tannins. Lingering notes of strawberry and blackberry add freshness and elegance to the finish".

Château Jacques Noir
Saint-Emilion
Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2010 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
About the wine:
Acquired in 2001, the Saint-Emilion château of the Ducourt vineyards - one of the largest family estates in Bordeaux: over 400 ha. This gleaming, ruby-tinted wine, a pure Merlot from clay soils, is as flattering and successful as the 2005. Its delicate, almost caressing nose combines red fruit aromas with toasty notes, the hallmark of twelve months' barrel ageing. The round, woody attack reveals good body and a balanced structure supported by smooth tannins. Lingering notes of strawberry and blackberry add freshness and elegance to the finish.
