Critic's Tasting Note:

"The 2015 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques has a lively, vivacious  bouquet with vibrant red cherries, redcurrant and orange rind scents that remain very controlled yet at the some time, very detailed. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, elegant in style, silky smooth in texture leading to a detailed, mineral-driven and harmonious finish that has grace and panache. This is superb."
