The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St-Jacques is a great wine. To be honest, at the beginning it comes across as rather bold and showy, perhaps more New World than Burgundy. However, it really comes into its own after 90 minutes in the glass. It completely mellows on the nose, offering ripe and beautifully defined crushed strawberry, raspberry and pomegranate scents tinged with vanilla and violet. The palate is ripe and supple on the entry, the plush cassis and blackcurrant fruit countered by a keen line of acidity and wonderful harmony towards the finish. If you want to broach this in its youth then I strongly advise decanting for an hour or two, or preferably leave it in the cellar for another three or four years. Neal Martin1st May 2019
