Reviews:

A restrained if exceptionally pretty nose speaks of spiced liqueur-like aromas of various dark berries including cassis, plum and an interesting hint of jasmine tea. There is a really lovely sense of vibrancy to the even more mineral-driven flavors that are blessed with a bit better mid-palate density before concluding in a firm, serious and beautifully persistent finale. This well-balanced and quite powerful effort should easily reward a decade plus of cellaring.  Burghound 93-95 Outstanding!

Francois describes the soil as going through five layers, starting very limestone at the top of the slope and finishing in silty soil at the bottom. Three quarters was planted in 1910 while the bottom section below the alley is from 1955. Rich glowing crimson purple. There is a firmness to the bouquet that makes one sit up. Tasted after the excellent Combe aux Moines one can easily see the suggestion of grand cru for Clos St-Jacques. There is a sublime weight of deep red fruit in the middle of the palate, then a brilliant long finale after the perfectly managed tannins. A fraction of spice for seasoning, around the silkiness of the fruit. I am still tasting the fruit many minutes later. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted Nov 2024.  Jasper Morris 96-98 | 5 Stars
