Louis Jadot - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos St-Jacques' - 2016

Sweet Spot, Outstanding. Here too there is a distinct coolness to the wonderfully pure aromas of earth, rose petal, red currant and the sauvage that are set off by noticeable wood and menthol nuances. The rich, dense and sappy broad-shouldered yet refined flavors possess a suave and polished mouth feel, all wrapped in a stony and hugely long finish. This excellent effort is markedly firm but very well-balanced and should age effortlessly for years to come. 92-94 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
