Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Jul 22
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a very well-defined bouquet, mineral-driven, very transparent with hints of rose petal emerging with time. The palate is well-balanced with pastille-like purity. Fine weight, though I find more complexity on the 2016 and 2017. Yet there is more rondeur here, befitting the growing season, with its trademark touch of white pepper on the finish. Tasted at Domaine Duroché.
