Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 31 Oct 18
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.

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Nov 18
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru has a sensual bouquet that remains transparent despite concentrated aromas of raspberry, crushed strawberry and a touch of orange blossom. The palate is rounded and quite sensual, the plumpest of the five Clos St.-Jacques, and a little glossy in style, but there is plenty of substance behind that. Very good length here, and it seems to gain more backbone with aeration. Great long-term potential. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.

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)
