Your host - Xavier Jean
Xavier JEAN is the owner of Couvent des Jacobins, a historic Grand Cru Classé in Saint-Émilion established in 1389 by Dominican friars. Couvent des Jacobins has been in the Jean family for nearly 125 years, following its acquisition by his great-great grandfather Jean JEAN in 1902 and passed down from generation to generation. Couvent des Jacobins now covers nearly 11 hectares of classified plots, and is one of the very rare estates to have all its wine making facilities located at the center of the UNESCO-Listed village. It is certified organic farming by ECOCERT France.
