    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    For all the brilliance of Cazetiers, the Clair Clos St Jacques steps it up a level or two. There is simply more class here, more complexity, more focus. The fruit at this early stage comes across as darker, with a more elemental note, spring-loaded and waiting to bloom. The finish is one of haunting length, echoing the wine’s overall sense of seriousness and charm. Power and class in equal measure. Superb. 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 Fin made by Bruno's father, resulting in low yields – rarely more than 30hl/ha.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a pixelated bouquet that blossoms in the glass. The terroir’s nobility really floods through here: animated red fruit and crushed stone, hints of white flower and freshly tilled earth. The taut, linear palate is quite strict; it’s a serious Clos Saint-Jacques with a long, saline finish. The palate is not giving much away at the moment—it’s all on the nose, but I have confidence in it.
