Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques Duroche 2016 (750ML)

92-94 Points, Neal Martin, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques has a tightly wound bouquet that needed more encouragement than the Estournelles that I tasted directly before. But it is worthwhile waiting for this to unfurl, revealing subtle damp woodland and shucked oyster shell aromas neatly entwined with the cranberry and wild strawberry scents. The palate is very nuanced with a fine line of acidity, beautiful balance, great poise and charm, perhaps one of the domaine's most effortless wines on the finish. Sophisticated. There are 11 barrels from the 1.2 hectares, so at least this is hopefully easier to obtain upon release." 12/17
