Notes:
Once again the nose is ripe yet cool with its blends of both red and dark berries, plenty of sauvage character and a smoky hint. There is excellent volume and better concentration to the larger-bodied and powerful flavors that conclude in a muscular and sneaky long finish that is very firmly structured, indeed at least a decade will be necessary for this to become suitably approachable.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques ler Cru has one of the most floral bouquets from the range this year, with bunches of rose petals and a touch of lavender complementing the ebullient red berry fruit. It just needs a little more mineralité perhaps? The palate is medium-bodied, with juicy tannins lending this weight. With dark black fruit and touches of tobacco coming through with aeration, it's not refined, but there's a little sinew on the finish here. Fine, but it will need time. Neal Martin 91-93
