Vinous Neal Martin - 30 Oct 24
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru, which is the regular cuvée, is more backward on the nose: dark berry fruit, touches of cola, crushed stone and marmalade. It becomes a little more floral with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with saturated tannins. This is one of the fleshier Clos Saint-Jacques. It becomes a little more candied with orange zest, allspice and a touch of cinnamon towards the finish. The 2020 lingers nicely in the mouth. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
