Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux St Jacques, 1er Cru, 2024
justerini & brooks tasting note
Confit red fruits with a fine sweetness to the fruit, more tension and snap, a crisp dark and red cherry character, with good minerality below the fruit. All destemmed. Lovely balance and tension, with a cleansing mineral line below. An excellent 1er Cru, one of the appellation’s higher, cooler vineyards next to Clos-St.-Jacques.

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has beguiling purity on the nose with perfumed red berry fruit, crushed stone and hints of wilted rose petal. Very elegant in style, a little Rousseau-like. The palate is very well balanced, quite citrus and edgy on the entry, moderate weight and lovely transparency with a peacock's tail on the finish. Excellent.
