Tasting notes
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru still has some oak to be subsumed, though it is certainly proportionate with the fruit concentration. Redcurrant, wild strawberry, thyme and crushed stone develop nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sapid ripe red fruit. Fine tannins, well focused with a slight creaminess towards the finish. This needs just a couple of years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Fairly heady scent with a panoply of sweet fruit. Perhaps not the most complex Clos St-Jacques but almost certainly the least expensive! Good savoury edge to this. Long and rich. (JR)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a tight-fisted and recalcitrant bouquet, quite tertiary, white pepper notes emanate from the 40% whole bunches. The palate is medium-bodied with chiselled tannins, fresh and tensile with wild strawberry, marmalade and crushed stone notes on the finish. Bon vin .
