Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 21
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a beguiling, tertiary, wet limestone tinged bouquet with precise red berry fruit and touches of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite saline in the mouth, building towards a lightly spiced, tensile finish that lingers. Wonderful.
