Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux-St-Jacques 2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (93)

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques was the domaine's first pick and saw some whole bunch. Bursting with notions of dark berries, rose petals and smoke, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and perfumed, with a fleshy core of fruit, fine tannins and a saline finish.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comprises three barrels this year, "huge" according to Amélie Berthaut, who often has just one. This is one of the only cuvées that includes stems (50%), so it has a different aromatic profile—much more peppery with hints of clove. The palate is well balanced with silky tannins and a lovely fleshy mouthfeel. Lightly spiced dark red fruit leads to a seductive, sweet finish that nods to Vosne-Romanée. This is an exquisitely crafted Lavaut Saint-Jacques.

An overtly floral-inflected nose is pretty if reluctant though aggressive swirling eventually reveals dark berry aromas with background hints of the sauvage and forest floor. There is better density and power to the firm and serious medium-bodied flavors that also flash evident minerality on the moderately austere and built-to-age finale that makes clear that at least some patience is very much in order.
