2015 Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques

The Lavaux St. Jacques 2015 is a generous wine offering plenty of fruit. In the nose ripe pinot fruit – raspberries, plum and a earthy minerality. On the palate rich and weighty for a Lavaux St. Jacques with layers of relatively sweet ripe fruit. It’s balanced and quite refined, and offer more mid-palate weight than the mineralic Bel Air. A fine Lavaux in the making – but somehow I prefer the cooler Bel Air in 2015. Mar 2016, www.winehog.org
