Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques 2021 Armand Rousseau

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (94)

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques delivers aromas of cassis, sweet berries, spices and soil, framed by a creamy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and concentrated, it's layered and seamless, with a fleshy, sensual profile and an expansive finish.

Jancis Robinson (17.50)

Cask sample. Mid-dark cherry. Dense, perfumed and concentrated nose. There seems a whiff of balsam, spicy raisin-and-sultana sweetness on the nose. Is that cola? It is certainly exotic and spicy. Fine, lacy acidity. Medium-bodied with a rich texture, this is refined with silky soft tannins. All very modest and balanced. Fine, complex and long.

Burghound (95)

Here too the elegant nose is cool, pure and reserved with its pretty and layered array of various red berries, plum, violet and soft earth hints. The delicious middleweight flavors possess outstanding delineation and the same pungent minerality that adds a sense of energy and relief to the superbly long if youthfully austere finale that isn't quite as structured. This is also excellent and should age accordingly.

Jasper Morris (96)

Fine mid purple colour. Already the oak (80% new wood) adds an extra level of intensity but clearly there is a wealth of fruit too. A burst of divine sweet fruit greets the back of the palate, long and lovely.
