Duroché owns a sizable 1.2-hectare parcel of this Premier Cru, and it is arguably the cuvée that best defines the estate. There’s such elegance here, with soft, silky, light-on-its-feet tannins and incredible purity and detail. Lavaut balances a freshness, due to its position at the base of the Combe, with an opulence of fruit from the vineyard’s south facing aspect.

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has an elegant and refined nose featuring delineated brambly red fruit and forest floor scents with just a hint of ash. It's finely focused. The palate is medium-bodied, open and charming with lace-like tannins, gentle grip and a dash of white pepper on the finish. This is delightful.
Lavaut-St-Jacques was not the last to be picked for once, to avoid flétri (wrinkled skins) which was threatening, and it certainly comes across as quite ripe. Mid purple. The bouquet takes a little searching out, then sensual red and black fruit across the palate. Not ultra concentrated but quite fine. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Nov 2024.
