Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux St Jacques, 1er Cru, 2023

Fine dark fruits and stones on the nose. On the palate there's a creamy attack, great ripeness to the fruit and a seductive, sleek flowing texture. Dark ripe fruit with controlling salt on the finish. Always a reasonably dense, dark, deep wine due to the age of the vines, and their positioning in the cool airstream of the combe which serves to thicken the skins and brings a cool concentration to the final wine. An excellent 1er Cru, one of the appellation’s higher, cooler vineyards next to Clos-St.-Jacques. Fully destemmed and aged in 40% new oak.
