Note di degustazione
Tasted blind, Jean-Marie Fourrier's distinctive fingerprint was immediately recognizable in the 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, a beautiful wine that soared from the glass with a projected bouquet of wild berries, peonies, orange rind and subtle currant leaf. Medium to full-bodied, supple and succulent, it's a concentrated, fleshy wine with considerable mid-palate depth and dimension, structured around fine, even melting tannins and concluding with a long, intense finish.

Good medium-deep red. Slightly withdrawn but very pure aromas of raspberry and red cherry lifted by rose petal and white pepper high notes. Dense, savory and very ripe, combining captivating subtle sweetness with a strong element of saline minerality. Not quite as floral in the mouth as on the nose, but this silky wine boasts terrific concentration and salty energy. The superb slowly building finishing flavors fill the olfactories and vibrates. A bit deeper-pitched--and more backward--from bottle than it was from tank in late 2016 but today the wine's strong soil tones only add to its potential complexity. This will need time.
Vines planted in 1900/01. Average 25-30 hl/ha. Just racked into tank prior to tasting. Very dark crimson. Not very expressive on the nose but massive concentration. All builds towards the end. Very masculine stereotype! Lots more tannins than most. (JR)
