The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is another notable success this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, peonies, orange zest and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, layered and perfumed, its satiny attack segueing into a sweet core of fruit, it concludes with a long, saline finish.
Cask sample. Very pale garnet. Lifted nose. Really exciting! Lots of energy and fruit here. Already a pleasure to drink. Great tension. (JR)
