Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 23
The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes across a bit staid on the nose, missing the joie-de-vivre of other vintages, quite tarry, in fact. The palate is oaky and chewy; this muscular CSJ needs more finesse. There is impressive density, yet it requires more mineralité and terroir expression. Tasted at the Southwold Burgundy dinner at Hatched restaurant.
