About the producer

Property of the Pelotier family for three generations, Château Saint-Jacques is located in Libourne, in the heart of the Right Bank vineyard area. From the Pomerol appellation, one of the smallest production areas of Bordeaux (0.7% of the Bordeaux vineyard surface) and one of the most renowned, it is a wine that reflects the typicality of its terroir, expressive due to its majority of ripe Merlot but also powerful thanks to the richness of the soils of this vineyard.

A fine and elegant wine. The nose is fruity and intense. Black fruits with light wood spice notes. The palate is silky with notes of ripe black fruits. A very aromatic wine, well-balanced with a long, elegant finish.
