Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 13 Feb 26
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is drinking beautifully, like so many reds from this vintage, though obviously there is plenty in the tank. Wild strawberries, leather and undergrowth scents manifest in the glass, gaining delineation with time. As I found from barrel, there is an underlying pepperiness on the palate, but it’s quite firm in structure, just softening a little around the edges as it reaches eight years old. That spiciness on the finish remains intact. This Lavaux is ready for the long haul.

Having underrated Rousseau's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques from barrel, then from bottle, I'm happy to have a chance to redeem myself, as this wine is showing brilliantly after just a few years in bottle. Bursting with aromas of red berries, cherries, peonies and spices, framed by sapid bass notes of smoked meats, it's medium to full-bodied, with more mid-palate depth and intensity than was apparent just a year ago, built around melting tannins and succulent acids.

Gorgeously scented with red cherry – immediate, smile-inducing pleasure, before you have even tasted it. There’s a dustiness too but in a good way. More serious, savoury and spiced on the palate, darker than I expected and yet with so much energy. Finest texture. Spiced and incredibly long. (JH)
