The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques, which derives from no fewer than six parcels within this highly morcelated vineyard, reveals aromas of creamy red and black fruit, pencil shavings, wood smoke and a framing of spicy new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and cool, with firm tannins asserting themselves on the finish and lending this a somewhat rustic character. This should develop well in the cellar, but my preference is for the Perrière and Champeaux this year.
