    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Cool, vibrant and tense flavours. Really fine-tuned fruit, notes of bramble and red berry with a savoury saltiness and minerality. A live wire, taut Gevrey that avoids being too austere. Beautifully judged. An excellent 1er Cru, one of the appellation’s higher, cooler vineyards next to Clos-St.-Jacques.

    Neal Martin,

    The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is completely de-stemmed and raised in 60% new oak. Like the Clos Prieur, it has a vivacious, well defined bouquet with slightly more red fruit by comparison. In addition, the floral element is more pronounced, especially after three or four minutes of aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with very supple tannin that lend this Lavaut Saint-Jacques a silky smooth texture. There are darker fruit stacked towards the back end of this Lavaut, the length is really quite impressive.
