Deep and complex, the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with orange zest, spices and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, its broad attack segues into a supple, seamless mid-palate that's underpinned by lively acids.
Cask sample. Mid bright ruby. Very subtle nose promises excitement. So juicy and lifted! Yet with an undertow of just the sort of delicacy that only great red burgundy can offer. There is a mass of substance buried below the surface here. Very long and rich but with freshness too. (JR)
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru absolutely delivers on the nose from the very first sniff: complex mineral-driven red berry fruit, exquisitely defined, takes it up another level from the Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely chiseled tannins. Poised yet powerful, it fans effortlessly toward the immensely detailed and beguiling finish. Jadot has stepped up a gear in terms of its Clos Saint-Jacques in recent vintages (for example, the 2019), and this will give the likes of Rousseau and Clair a run for their money.
A very pretty, even lightly perfumed, nose freely reveals its combination of various red berries, spice, floral top notes and a subtle whiff of just turned earth. The succulent, delicious and round middleweight plus flavors flash the hallmark minerality on the impressively long and firm finish that evidence focused power. The ESJ and the LSJ are both excellent but there is just another dimension present here, not to mention a certain class.
Medium deep purple, not yet displaying much bouquet but that is a question of reticence, not absence. There is plenty of energy behind, still savoury touch but one can see a significant weight of red berry fruit waiting in the wings. A sleeper perhaps. Drink from 2032-2038.
