Note di degustazione
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes across a bit staid on the nose, missing the joie-de-vivre of other vintages, quite tarry, in fact. The palate is oaky and chewy; this muscular CSJ needs more finesse. There is impressive density, yet it requires more mineralité and terroir expression. Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant.

The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques bursts from the glass with dark red fruit in an exciting, viscerally thrilling style that captures the personality of the vintage. The wine is beginning to shut down and will require patience, but it should be pretty spectacular when it emerges from its slumber. Layers of fruit build to the sensual inviting finish. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2029. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7756
Perfume, violets, strawberry, lots of core fruit, powerful and refined. (RH)
Saturated medium red. Black cherry, violet and some caramel oak high tones on the nose. Sweet, dense and floral, with a rather strong oakiness in spite of the fact that this is aging in just 30% new barrels. Best today on the very broad, sweet back end, which features suave tannins and excellent length. From a second barrel: More espresso but less caramel on the nose. Juicy and imploded in the mouth, with lovely perfume to the tangy cherry and raspberry flavors. A dense, saline wine with terrific energy and length. I'd like to taste this side by side with the 2008 in a few years. My score is for the second sample.

Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
