The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques has a very composed and detailed bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, a subtle floral note of rose petal and iris. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin and a fine silver bead of acidity. It feels quite linear at the moment, strict and you could say "well behaved," though there is superb depth towards the velvety finish and a persistent minerally aftertaste. This is a very composed, complex Clos Saint-Jacques.
Well-marked by spicy oak, this muscular red boasts cherry, plum, licorice and violet flavors. The beefy tannins lend an angularity now, with a lingering finish of oak, spice and mineral. This is just getting started and needs several years to peak.
