Vinous Neal Martin - 20 Aug 25
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers a mixture of red and black fruit, hints of chalk and light Earl Grey scents percolating through with time. Again, lovely mineralité. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very elegant and refined, beautifully balanced with white pepper and pain d'épices. Excellent.
