Tasting Notes

Vinous Neal Martin - 12 Dec 23
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has an intense nose, leaning slightly more toward black fruit, and is richer and more opulent than its fellow CSJs. Quite dense and tannic, the palate is rich on the entry, with blood orange-infused black fruit and a sweet, solid finish. It still requires 5-7 years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
