Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques Denis Mortet 2023 (750ML)

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is vinified with 40% whole bunch, including the central stem, as the acidity is already naturally higher. This has a classically styled bouquet, cool and refined with slightly darker fruit…you would never guess this was picked on September 20. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh with crunchy red fruit and fine tannins, quite peppery toward the linear finish. There is a strictness about this Lavaux Saint-Jacques with a very saline finish. It will fill out during the second year in barrel. Excellent. (Drink between 2028-2050)" 01/25

92-94 Points, Jasper Morris, InsideBurgundy.com: "One third classic whole bunch vinification. Gorgeous red fruit, strawberry, slightly more lactic at the back but very long. A little softer at the finish. Perhaps not quite the equal of the best chez Mortet this year. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Nov 2024." 11/24
