Tasting notes
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques, which derives from no fewer than six parcels within this highly morcelated vineyard, reveals aromas of creamy red and black fruit, pencil shavings, wood smoke and a framing of spicy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and cool, with firm tannins asserting themselves on the finish and lending this a somewhat rustic character. This should develop well in the cellar, but my preference is for the Perrière and Champeaux this year.

(40+ year old vines). A discreet application of wood sets off the cool essence of black raspberry, humus, forest floor and game nuances. There is first-rate punch to the even more intensely mineral-inflected medium-bodied flavors that possess excellent underlying material along with a very firm and presently prominent tannic spine that makes its presence felt on the hugely long finish. This is terrific provided you have the patience to allow it the considerable time it will require to soften. Dec 2016, www.burghound.com
