The 2009 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques caresses the palate with layers of sensual fruit. Whereas the 2010 is a vertical wine, the 2009 is round, juicy and immediate. The sexiness of 2009 is on full display, at the same time the Lavaux St. Jacques appears to have more than enough underlying structure to age gracefully for years. This is a racy, gorgeous wine from Philippe Pacalet. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.
