Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Saint-Jacques, 1er Cru, 2014

Stylish, refined and racy. Bitter-sweet morello cherry and raspberrry fruit characteristics, super-fine tannins and long, clear refreshing flavours. So crystalline and pure. Sensational red burgundy. A great Clos St Jacques. One of Gevrey’s great Premiers Crus situated high up on the slope, many believe it to be more deserving of Grand Cru status than a number of Gevrey’s more dubious Grands Crus. This high situation and red clay-based soils make for wines of freshness, tension and well-defined structure.
