Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Oct 24
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with beautiful red berry fruit, briar, hints of crushed stone and orange pith. This blossoms in the glass. The palate has exquisite balance, real depth and a gentle grip. There is a wonderful symmetry about this Clos Saint-Jacques, and there is a surfeit of mineralité towards the finish, the sapidity beckoning another sip. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
Drinking Date: 2026 - 2050

Robert Parker Wine Advocate William Kelley - 20 Jan 22
Aromas of dark berries, cherries, plums, burning embers, loamy soil and black truffles, framed by a patina of toasty new oak, introduce Rousseau's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, a full-bodied, deep and layered wine with a velvety attack that segues into a concentrated, tightly wound core, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a serious Clos Saint-Jacques that's built for the long haul.

Cask sample. Perfume! Exotic, complex, lofty and endless. Really outstanding, top-class burgundy. (MH)
