Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 15
Good medium red. Smoky aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, dried flowers, coffee, leather and animal fur offer plenty of early sex appeal. Sweet, plush and silky on the palate, delivering a satisfying combination of red fruits, spices and coffee. The slowly building, saline finish coats the palate with dusty, fine-grained tannins. Gives the impression of slow and thorough ripening of the fruit.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 30 Dec 14
The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques has a more conservative, straitlaced bouquet at present, though one that is well defined, with orange blossom and light quince aromas infusing the red berry fruit. The palate is well balanced with silky tannin, the new oak nicely integrated here and filling out the rounded and surprisingly plump finish. This is a "bootylicious" Gevrey-Chambertin! Very seductive. It should drink well for the next 15-20 years, possibly longer.
