Vinous Neal Martin - 27 Jul 22
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is consistent with my tasting note from 12 months earlier. Vibrant red fruit on the nose, redcurrant and cranberry fruit, wilted rose petals and black pepper. The palate is beautifully balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fine depth, vibrant red fruit with a lively spicy finish. This may well warrant a higher score in the future. Tasted at Domaine Duroché.
