What They Say
A rich and complex bouquet of red fruits and black cherry, with a hint of sweet spice. Smooth and generous on the palate and underpinned by fine tannins.
About The Producer Saint Jacques d'Albas
Château St. Jacques d'Albas is situated in the Languedoc region of the South of France, nestled in the hills behind the medieval city of Carcassonne. To the North are the Black mountains, to the Southeast the Mediterranean ocean, and the snow peaked Pyrénées rise to the South. Woodland and garrigue cover two thirds of the domaine - and much of the land beyond that - providing a refuge for migratory birds and wild animals, as well as a healthy ecological protection for the interspersed 26 hectares of vine plots. Our winemaking philosophy is to respect nature’s environment, while applying modern techniques to allow the “terroir” to express itself.
