Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques 2016 is a single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Armand Rousseau. Clos St Jacques is situated adjacent to the Grand Cru vineyards of Chambertin, benefitting from a unique microclimate and well-draining limestone soils. The vineyard spans 6.5 hectares and is known for producing wines with defined structure and complexity. The 2016 vintage reflects the vineyard`s characteristics, revealing a bouquet of ripe red fruit with hints of earthiness and subtle spices. On the palate, it showcases fine tannins and a measured acidity, which contribute to its ageing potential.

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is blessed with a bouquet of real pedigree: very complex mixture of red and black brambly fruit, sous-bois, crushed stone and rose petal aromas. The harmony and delineation is outstanding. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, pliant tannins that lend this Clos Saint-Jacques symmetry and poise. Fresh and vibrant, it never relinquishes any of its breeding and tension. The finish is persistent and utterly captivating. Fabulous. Tasted blind at the 2016 Burgfest tasting.

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is showing brilliantly from bottle, soaring from the glass with aromas of raspberries, Griotte cherries, peonies, rich soil tones, smoked meats and dark chocolate, framed by a deft application of cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a rich and multidimensional core that's framed by refined tannins and a lively spine of acidity, concluding with a long and pungently intense finish.William Kelley9th January 2020
