Vinous Neal Martin - 06 Jun 24
Matured with one-third whole bunches and 70% new oak, the 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a slightly rustic bouquet with mainly red berry fruit and touches of black truffle coming through. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and a fine grip. It's saline in the mouth with leathery notes on the finish.
