Other Reviews....
A mentholated top note is present on the aromas of kirsch, black cherry and distinct earth scents. There is more volume, mid-palate concentration and muscle to the larger-scaled flavors that are at once impressively rich yet well-delineated on the dusty, serious and built-to-age finale. This is very impressive. Drink: 2035+.

Allen Meadows - Burghound

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques unfurls to reveal aromas of dark berries, rose petals, exotic spices and violets. Medium to full-bodied, layered and complete, with terrific concentration, lively acids and beautifully refined tannins, this is especially promising this year.

William Kelley - Wine Advocate (Jan 2022)

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers impressive, delineated redcurrant and cranberry fruit on the nose, not powerful, but neat and precise. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, quite fleshy and Chambolle-like. Slightly granular in texture towards the marine-tinged finish, I would give this 2-3 years in bottle. Very fine. Drink: 2026-2050.

Neal Martin - Vinous

Another colour which is an elegant rather thana massive style of purple. A white pepper freshness finish reminds me of whole bunches but they don’t use it for Gevrey-Chambertin wines. Excellent alpine strawberry note, and a very fine persistent finish.
