2016 Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques includes slightly more whole-cluster fruit at 80%. The class of the terroir comes through here: very pure blackberry and wild strawberry fruit infused by cold stone, almost slate-like aromas. There is wonderful detail and definition here. The palate is well defined with more red fruit than the Fonteny, perhaps you could say more pinote. Raspberry and wild strawberry tinged with spice, impressive depth with saliva-inducing salinity on the finish. Excellent. Dec 2017, www.robertparker.com
