Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Louis Jadot 2017 (750ML)

92-94+ Points, William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of sweet red berries, coffee roast, raw cocoa, candied peel and cedary new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with an abundance of satiny structuring tannin, juicy acids and a long, pure finish. As usual, this will require some bottle age, but it's one of the high points of the collection." 01/19

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru clearly has the finest bouquet of seven wines that I tasted from the appellation by Jadot. It is very precise and focused, showing superb edginess and impressive terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin. This is quite linear in style, the fruit just a little muted toward the finish, but there is fine structure and detail on this more masculine Clos Saint-Jacques than anticipated." 01/19

93 Points, James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com: "Shows a solid finish with ripe and linear tannins, as well as attractive sliced-strawberry, raspberry and citrus flavors. Medium to full body. Solid. Give it three to four years to soften. Try after 2023." 02/19

91-94 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "Like several of the foregoing wines, the wood and menthol-infused nose is quite firmly reduced and basically unreadable today. Otherwise there is exceptionally good richness and volume to the concentrated flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a velvety mouth feel as well as buffers the notably firm tannic spine shaping the muscular and youthfully austere finale. This is presently not especially complex but the underlying material appears to be present such that the normal outstanding depth should gradually develop." 04/19
