A convent steeped in history, with a timeless charm, where you can visit the cellars and taste the estate's wines.
Jean Jean acquired the property in 1902, and it is today his great-great-grandson, Xavier, who perpetuates the tradition of this Grand Cru Classé in organic farming. A visit to the Couvent des Jacobins is truly an opportunity to go back in time in this place full of history and timeless charm. After visiting the monolithic cellars of the domain, you can taste the wines of the property in the old bakery of the Dominicans which was built in 1389. And also? A tuk-tuk ride in the vineyards, a picnic in the garden...

Absolutely splendid tour! Well worth getting up early, post our friend’s wedding celebration, to view the cellars and wine-making process. Xavier was truly accommodating, supplying our group with both French and English translations, and invaluable knowledge. The wine tasting at the end of their three labels was highly appreciated! Recommend to all those in the area!

Quelle expérience incroyable au Couvent des Jacobins à Saint-Émilion ! Ce joyau, situé en plein cœur du village, nous a vraiment impressionnés. La visite a largement dépassé nos attentes, avec une découverte fascinante de la cave souterraine. Et que dire du vin ? Il est tout simplement excellent ! La visite était exceptionnelle et l'équipe extrêmement accueillante. C'est un incontournable pour quiconque dans la région.

El convento se sitúa en el centro, a 3 minutos de la iglesia monolítica por lo que lo hace muy práctico si no tienes demasiado tiempo para desplazarte a un chateau a las afueras.
Muy recomendable. Todo de 10!
