Gevrey Chambertin, Clos St Jacques, 1er Cru, 2006

justerini & brooks tasting note

A bold, imposing wine of great majesty, this explodes with racy fresh forest berry, cherry and mineral character with ripe creamy kirsch and crème de mure suggestions on the finish.

critic reviews

91+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous

Full, dark red. Some very ripe notes to the aromas of plum, blackberry and violet. Moderately sweet and penetrating, with very good energy and underlying spine to its currant and floral flavors. A bit youthfully imploded but finishes with solid power, serious tannins and enticing lingering perfume. This classy, fine-grained but still-tight wine calls for seven or eight years of patience. (Incidentally, I tried two different bottles of the Cazetiers and both seemed slightly dried by imperfect corks.)
