Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Louis Jadot 2005

Here the nose is decidedly fresher with ripe, expressive and dense red berry fruit nuanced with ample Gevrey earth that continues onto the rich, full and very vibrant flavors that are delicious and built to age, culminating in a hugely long finish that does a slow build from the mid-palate on back. This is as good a young Jadot Clos St. Jacques as I can remember in some time. In short, there is formidable potential here.

Ruby-red. Pure, scented nose combines black cherry, black raspberry, violet and crushed stone. Wonderfully sweet and rich, with explosive flavors of dark cherry and licorice. Fine-grained, backward wine that already saturates the palate with flavor. Finishes with superb lift and purity. Potentially a great vintage for this cuvee.
