Tasting notes

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a more intense bouquet than the Ruchottes with blood-orange-infused red fruit, exquisite definition and supreme focus. The palate is medium-bodied with finely sculpted tannins, a little spicier than Rousseau's other cuvées, with fine weight toward the finish. Touches of black pepper and dark chocolate linger temptingly. Superb.
