Tasting notes
Bright red-ruby. Vibrant scents and flavors of maraschino cherry, flowers and spices. Densely packed, dry and serious, showing lovely integration of fruit and mineral elements. Terrific energy here but this will need time to expand in bottle. Still, this wine is balanced from the start.

(this the following wines are aged in 100% new oak): Bright, dark red. Raspberry, cherry and spicy oak on the nose. Juicy and precise, conveying very good inner-mouth lift and a light touch to the cherry, mineral and game flavors. A bit youthfully severe but there's good intensity here. Finishes with a firm tannic spine.
The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques has an elegant, mineral-driven and rather introspective bouquet that takes time to unfold from the glass. The palate is vibrant with lovely, pure blackberry and raspberry fruit, fine tension with impressive weight on the linear finish. This is a stylish Lavaux that should give 10-15 years of pleasure.
