Tasting Notes

Firm reduction masks the underlying fruit at present though there is good freshness to the solidly concentrated and powerful yet caressing medium weight flavors that possess a sophisticated mouthfeel before terminating in a minerally, youthfully austere and firm finish.

Score: 90 - 92

Allen Meadows, Burghound 10 January 2019

Notions of sweet cherries, cassis, currant leaf, loamy soil and dark chocolate introduce the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques, a medium to full-bodied, satiny and succulent wine with a deep, layered core of fruit that conceals its melting tannins.

Score: 91 - 93

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a detailed, tertiary-scented bouquet that blossoms in the glass. Blackberry, wild hedgerow and scents reminiscent of walking through woods just after an autumn shower. The palate is very well defined with filigree tannin. This is beautifully poised with tangible energy towards the persistent, Earl Grey-tinged finish. Excellent.

Score: 93
