Louis Jadot Clos Saint-Jacques, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, France 2022

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2022 is a truly special Burgundy from one of the Côte de Nuits’ most legendary Premier Cru vineyards, a site widely regarded as Grand Cru quality in everything but classification. Deeply perfumed and beautifully structured, the 2022 delivers layers of black cherry, cassis, violet, spice, graphite, and savory earth, supported by refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and exceptional length. A benchmark bottle for serious Burgundy collectors, with the pedigree, power, and elegance to reward years in the cellar.

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques ler Cru absolutely delivers on the nose from the very first sniff: complex mineral-driven red berry fruit, exquisitely defined, takes it up another level from the Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely chiseled tannins. Poised yet powerful, it fans effortlessly toward the immensely detailed and beguiling finish. Jadot has stepped up a gear in terms of its Clos Saint-Jacques in recent vintages (for example, the 2019), and this will give the likes of Rousseau and Clair a run for their money." Vinous 97
