    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    More discrete, noble and restrained than the Cazetiers with a core of complex mineral notes, fine touches of spice and beautiful fruit. Seriously smart with exceptional poise and very delicate power. The finish haunts the mouth for a minute or more. Top drawer. 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,
    Vinous
    The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a tight-fisted and recalcitrant bouquet, quite tertiary, white pepper notes emanate from the 40% whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, fresh and tensile with wild strawberry, marmalade and crushed stone notes on the finish. Bon vin.
