    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Terroir definitely trumps vintage here. As ethereal, elegant and vibrant as ever, even though the fruit profile is a little riper than usual the wine's shape and profile does not change. Ripe damson, griotte and sweet berry fruits hover effortlessly over the palate and are interspersed with mineral and cool rocky notes. Intensely saline yet floating. Other-worldly. 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. The vineyard was planted in 1957, a massale selection of Pinot Fine made by Bruno's father, resulting in low yields - rarely more than 30hl/ha.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is very complex on the nose with mostly red fruit intermingling with crushed stone, black truffle and light cedar aromas. It feels very assured. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain but quite firm tannins, complex with fine acidity and hints of marmalade and clove tincturing the red fruit towards the finish. Superb - but will it surpass the 2018?
