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

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a bright and youthful nose. Fine delineation with exuberant dark berry fruit, this still needs more bottle age to subsume the oak. Wonderful redcurrant, cranberry notes develop, with orange blossom hints. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins and exquisite balance, yet it clams up toward the finish. Huge potential, but it needs time in bottle. - Tasted December 2022 95 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
