The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) has turned out very well indeed, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums, complemented by hints of peony, orange rind, warm spices and a classy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, it's impressively lively in this inherently rich vintage, with a succulent and enveloping core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a penetrating finish.
