Domaine Armand Rousseau - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Lavaux St-Jacques' - 2017

Having underrated Rousseau's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques from barrel, then from bottle, I'm happy to have a chance to redeem myself, as this wine is showing brilliantly after just a few years in bottle. Bursting with aromas of red berries, cherries, peonies and spices, framed by sapid bass notes of smoked meats, it's medium to full-bodied, with more mid-palate depth and intensity than was apparent just a year ago, built around melting tannins and succulent acids. - Tasted September 2021 92 Points William Kelley, The Wine Advocate
