The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques offers up aromas of plums, berries, orange zest, vine smoke, loamy soil and creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with good depth at the core, powdery tannins and bright acids, it's a strong effort.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques ler Cru has a poised, well-defined and focused bouquet. With transparent red fruit and more mineralite than the Gevrey Village, it gains intensity with aeration but never fully lets go. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh, citrus-infused red fruit. This is a "nimble" Lavaux, linear and quite understated, although it will gain weight during the remainder of its elevage.
