Notes:

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques ler Cru takes time to cohere in the glass. The 40% new oak is neatly integrated (matured in 300-liter barrels and feuillettes). Hints of marmalade and blood orange intermingle with the red that is higher-toned than the Estournelles. The palate is medium-bodied and fleshy, with supple tannins and fine grip. It's more peptiry than the Estournelles, with a persistent finish. This should mature beautifully in bottle. Vinous Media/ Neal Martin 93

A restrained but classic Gevrey nose is composed of plenty of sauvage and forest floor nuances on the mostly dark berry fruit scents. As one would reasonably expect, there is better volume, power and muscle to the bigger-bodied, if less refined, flavors that brim with minerality on the solidly persistent and firmer finale. While the Estournelles and the Lavaut are qualitatively similar, they offer two very different impressions. Burghound 92 Outstanding!

A much more concentrated colour than Estournelles. A vigorous fresh purple raspberry fruit, really striking alongside the finesse of the previous wine. This is completely mouthfilling and does not come across as clumsy even behind the lacy Estournelles. The fruit swamps the tannins, and the finish is very consistent. Drink from 2030-2037. Tasted Nov 2024. Jasper Morris 93-95
