Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 23
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a precocious kirsch and white pepper nose, displaying a little more VA compared directly with the 2010. The palate is rich and decadent with sloes and mulberry fruit, but it lacks a bit of tension and seems to run out of steam towards the finish. Maybe it is just past its peak? Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant.
