Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru Domaine Louis Jadot 2017

Wineadvocate

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of sweet red berries, coffee roast, raw cocoa, candied peel and cedary new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with an abundance of satiny structuring tannin, juicy acids and a long, pure finish. As usual, this will require some bottle age, but it's one of the high points of the collection.

Vinous

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru clearly has the finest bouquet of seven wines that I tasted from the appellation by Jadot. It is very precise and focused, showing superb edginess and impressive terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is quite linear in style, the fruit just a little muted toward the finish, but there is fine structure and detail on this more masculine Clos Saint-Jacques than anticipated.

Morris

Solid dense deep red fruit, with more new oak showing on the nose which clearly has a depth of fruit too. There are some dark fruit notes, also quite good acidity and some rhubarb aspects. Plenty going on but a little bit lacking in nobility. Tasted: November 2018.
