The bouquet is flat out stunning, offering up a very pure and primary blend of sappy black cherries, cassis, grilled meat, woodsmoke, espresso and a magically complex base of soil. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant on the attack, with a sappy core, beautiful soil inflection, glorious complexity and plenty of suave tannins perking up the very, very long and tangy finish.

The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Saint-Jacques is all about finesse and seamless beauty. A refined, aristocratic Burgundy, the Clos Saint-Jacques is endowed with the silkiest of tannins and flat-out beauty from start to finish. The wine fleshes out on the palate with layers of red berries, flowers and licorice that gain volume and breadth with time in the glass. There is plenty of brightness and minerality to lend a gorgeous element of vibrancy on the close. I loved it. - VM
