The Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques displays attractive spicy and cracked black pepper aromas, lively red fruit flavors, and a chewy, oily, medium-bodied personality. Capable of aging for a minimum of 10 years, this wine can be drunk much earlier because of its ripe, round tannins. This note is the result of tastings I did in Burgundy between January 7 and January 29. The wine was tasted from cask, not bottle. Pinot Noir, a fragile varietal, reacts poorly to fining, filtration, and careless bottling techniques, I recommend caution when considering buying a red burgundy based on cask samples. I called it as I tasted it, and hope the bottled wine reflects the quality of the samples I was provided.
