2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux-St-Jacques, Denis Mortet
From a cool hillside site, this delightful wine displays delicately nuanced redcurrant and cherry aromas with hauntingly mineral notes which follow through to the palate. The satin-like texture is supported by a fine streak of acidity that provides a firm, significant structure. This Lavaux St Jacques shows incredible finesse; a wine that surely has plenty to reveal in years to come.
