Neal Martin, Score: 91-93
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru includes 75% whole-bunch fruit and is matured in 75% new oak this year. It has an intense bouquet of black cherries, crème de cassis and crushed violet aromas that billow from the glass. The medium-bodied palate delivers crunchy black cherry and blueberry fruit on the entry, and a sweet core of orange sorbet and marmalade leads to a lightly spiced, blood-orange-infused finish of good length.
Region
Gevrey Chambertin
The greatest village in terms of notable grand cru vineyards, Gevrey Chambertin has no less than 9 of them including its most famous Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Bèze, and includes a premier cru vineyard that many people deem grand cru in quality - Clos St. Jacques. It encompasses approximately 400 hectares under vine also making it the largest top quality vineyard area in the Côte de Nuits. Gevrey-Chambertin has many followers who seek out its deeply coloured, robust and textured wines. They are often firmer than the neighbouring appellations of Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée and can take several years to soften once released. Due to its size and reputation, the list of excellent producers is noteworthy and many are worth seeking out.
