Tasting Notes

92-94
Robert Parker Wine Advocate Neal Martin - 31 Dec 15
The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques has a more opulent, slightly more lactic nose compared to the Cazetiers that completely disguises the 30% whole bunch fruit. The palate is stunning: very concentrated with extremely pure red cherry and strawberry fruit, orange zest and citrus peel, very harmonious and sensual towards the finish. Alas, there are just two barrels produced.
Drinking Date: 2017 - 2032

Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 16
(this fruit is from the same owner as the Cazetiers; fermented in a single 600-literfoudre): Dark red-ruby. Deep aromas of blackberry, violet and smoked meat. Creamy on entry, then juicy, energetic and firm-edged; showing less personality today than the Cazetiers but this wine possesses a bit more size and structure, along with a serious spine of tannins and acidity. Finishes with excellent length and lift.
