Reviews & Scores
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed this year. It has a very understated bouquet that takes time to gradually unfurl, revealing pretty strawberry fruit, wet limestone and rose petal scents. The palate is smooth on the entry with lithe tannins, well balanced, not complex but reassuringly persistent on the finish. This will doubtlessly be drinking after just a couple of years in bottle. - VM

Offering up aromas of dark berries, plums, baking chocolate, loamy soil and licorice, the 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques Vieilles Vignes is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with a rich, impressively concentrated core of fruit, supple tannins and a long, floral finish. - WA

A fine even crimson colour. A little more muscle on the nose, moving away from the floral notes. Good acidity, a little mineral tension, not massive at all but fine, with some subtlety to the fruit on the palate. Alpine strawberries here. - JM
