Tasting notes
The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) is also an especially strong performer in the range this year. Offering up aromas of dark red berries, orange zest, peonies and subtle spices, it's medium- to full-bodied, ample and suave, with good depth, completeness and persistence.

The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques ler Cru is limited to a single foudre this year (equivalent to eight barrels). It demands a little more coaxing than usual from the nose but repays your patience with gorgeous scents of brambly red berries, rosehip, orange pith and crushed stone. It just exudes the essence of Clos Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannins and a crisp line of acidity. Very harmonious, almost silky in texture, it discreetly fans out towards the finish and has much more persistence than the Estournelles or Lavaux. Despite the poor season, Jadot manages to make a wonderful Clos Saint-Jacques.

An even crimson colour, not the deepest, but then the dark fruited concentration really kicks in on the palate, with a sterner structure and fine persistence. The nobility of the terroir transcends the vintage. Perhaps not quite the mid palate amplitude of a richer year, but the 2024 Clos St-Jacques has been well made.
