Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 19
The 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru from Jean-Marie Fourrier is similar to the bottle tasted two years earlier. It has a lovely, quite earthy, rose petal scented bouquet, that tertiary aspect becoming more pronounced with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine definition, still stylish and quite sumptuous for a 2006, though it does not quite deliver the complexity of the very finest vintages from Jean-Marie Fourrier, just tailing off a tad towards the finish. Tasted at the Gevrey-Chambertin lunch at China Tang in Hong Kong.
