Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques 2011 Armand Rousseau

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques was raised in 70% new oak. It has a ripe floral bouquet with red cherries, a touch of creme de cassis and violets once again all wrapped up in that nicely assimilated. Oak The palate is crisp and forward on the entry. This is not the most complex Clos Saint Jacques that I have tasted at this stage, but it is nicely focused with a precise, animated finish. It needs to show a little more character and personality within a couple of years.

70% new oak ? from a new barrel. Fairly light nose ? not dramatic. Good savoury undertow. But little muted. Subtle.
