Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Jadot 2005

Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques 2005 is a mature-vintage Burgundy red wine from the Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru of Clos St Jacques in the Côte de Nuits. Clos Saint-Jacques is arguably the most prestigious 1er Cru in Gevrey-Chambertin and in good vintages produces Pinot Noirs of a Grand Cru level. "A notably pretty if ripe nose features notes of spicy and still relatively primary red berries spiked with hints of leather, humus and a whiff of the sauvage. The intense, dense and full-bodied flavours brim with sappy dry extract before culminating in a stony, palate coating and driving finish that is serious, firm and beautifully persistent. This robust effort remains quite youthful, indeed it`s going to require another 15 to 20 years before it fully matures. In a word, impressive." Burghound, 2019
