CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers more red fruit compared to Sylvie Esmonin: raspberry and wild strawberry with a light menthol note loitering in the background. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet ripe tannins and bright red fruit laced with orange pith and mandarin. Playful, perhaps not the most "serious" Clos Saint-Jacques, quite linear on the finish that decides not to furnish you with the frills of a truly great wine from this hallowed 1er Cru. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.

Cask sample. Bright mid garnet. Sweet, jewelly, bright-fruited nose. Superior density and great fragrance. Real impact on the palate. Great persistence. Refined but not scrawny. Lifted and elegant on the nose with real breadth on the palate. Just gorgeous already even though one knows that it will just go on getting better and better. (JR)
