Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers one of my favourite bouquets from Faiveley in this vintage: open redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, touches of sous-bois and truffle, very expressive and charming. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite energetic, perhaps because compared to their Les Cazetiers, this was barely touched by the frost. Almost confit-like on the finish. Excellent.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques reveals aromas of cherries, sweet berries, loamy soil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, supple and lively, with melting tannins and a penetrating finish, it's a success.
Cask sample. Attractive scent already. Real energy here. Racy with polished tannins. Really precise and exciting. Very persistent. (JR)
