Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Jul 22
The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is a step up from the 2013 with more fruit concentration and fine transparency, darker fruit, hints of sous-bois, thyme and freshly tilled loamy soil. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grainy, very supple tannins, elegant and poised with a dash of white pepper. It gently fans out towards the finish that lingers in the mouth. This is an endearing Lavaut Saint-Jacques. Tasted at Domaine Duroché.
