Tasting notes
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques has a fragrant bouquet with very fine Pinot Noir character, the coolness of the site really counterbalancing the precocity of the vintage and frankly, showing up the more alcoholic and powerful Vosne-Romanée Malconsorts. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannin, fleshy and harmonious in the mouth with a very elegant, quite suave finish. This comes highly recommended.

Evident wood fights a bit with the ripe but cool aromas of red and dark currant, earth and plenty of sauvage character. There is outstanding richness to the dense yet refined middle weight plus flavors that culminate in a powerful and driving but not rustic finale. Note that the tannins are prominent but not hard and if you enjoy classic Gevrey, this one is worth considering. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
