Tasting notes
The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques is matured in 60% new oak and comprises 20 barrels this year from five different parcels. There is more fruit concentration compared to the Champeaux or the Champonnet, very pure with raspberry, cranberry leaf and cold granite. The palate is medium-bodied with good concentration, a little more bold than Arnaud's other premier crus. Although, I would have liked just a little more weight to come through on the finish. Let's see if this fleshes out by the time of bottling. Dec 2015, www.robertparker.com

About the producer
This estate, today with Arnaud Mortet at the helm, makes some of Gevrey-Chambertin’s finest wines. Working with 16 hectares, as well as a few négociant parcels, this property makes perfumed and chiselled Pinot Noir.
