Goedhuis Waddesdon, December 2024
Situated on a steep slope with excellent south-east exposure, Clos St Jacques could conceivably be a Grand Cru. Certainly, this is the wine that everyone is queuing around the block for, with fruit sourced from one of Burgundy’s finest growers. Elegant with a beautiful purity of red and black fruit both on the nose and palate, the wine has wonderful texture and, while the tannins are not shy in making their presence felt, they are powdery in nature and support the fruit.
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.
