Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru, which is one of Duroché’s cuvées reduced to a single barrel, has a wonderful bouquet with brambly red fruit, crushed stone, potpourri and light briary scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, silky smooth and harmonious, gently fanning out on the persistent finish. This has real class. The only downside is the quantity!
