Domaine Denis Mortet - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Lavaux St-Jacques' - 2021

A more restrained and distinctly cool nose is at once quite elegant and spicy while displaying an array of both red and dark currant, earth and violet. The dense, muscular and powerful big-bodied flavors flash plenty of minerality on the wonderfully persistent, compact, austere and serious finale. This is a classic and very tightly wound LSJ that is likely to remain that way for most of the next decade. 91-94 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
