Tasting Notes

91-93
Vinous Neal Martin - 05 Jan 23
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed this year. It has a very understated bouquet that takes time to gradually unfurl, revealing pretty strawberry fruit, wet limestone and rose petal scents. The palate is smooth on the entry with lithe tannins, well balanced, not complex but reassuringly persistent on the finish. This will doubtlessly be drinking after just a couple of years in bottle.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques unwinds in the glass with aromas of peonies, plums, orange rind, spices and petals. Medium-bodied, lively and supple, it's a bright, pretty wine with a saline, perfumed finish.

Some structure and concentration but still some seductive fruit, as in the village wine. Very perfumed with good balance. Even if youthful tannins are in evidence, there is plenty of fruit to counterbalance them. (JR)
