Note di degustazione
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru fulfils all the promise that it showed from barrel and maybe even adds to it. Pure, unadulterated dark cherry, wild strawberry, crushed stone and very subtle herbaceous notes on the nose that is full of tension and focus. Like Arnaud Mortet’s Mes 5 Terroirs, the new oak is beautifully integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannin. There is a symmetry about this Premier Cru that I adored. The wine builds gently to a very convincing, quite tangy marmalade finish. Superb. Tasted at the Domaine Direct Tasting in London.

Bright, sweet, fruity, alluring nose and very rich and polished without being too much. Perfect for those who yearn for old-fashioned burgundy that’s fully accessible. Amazingly accessible in fact considering the vintage and appellation. Sweet and charming. (JR)
The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques was affected by 50% to 60% because of the frost, with 20% whole bunch and 70% new oak. It has a very crystalline bouquet with perfumed dark berry fruit, crushed stone and hints of violet that just deliver stupendous precision. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety smooth entry and great depth, with the new oak nicely integrated, although maybe I might have chucked a few more stems in the vat on the finish? Still, this has great potential, a magnificent Lavaux Saint-Jacques that will dazzle for many years to come.
