Faiveley Gevrey Chambertin 'Lavaux Saint Jacques' Premier Cru 2017

6 units available online.
Product description

95 Points - Decanter    Lavaux-St-Jacques came into its own in 2017, thanks to the influence of cool breezes from the Hautes Côtes. This old-vine cuvée, aged in 40% new wood, is wonderfully fresh and precise, with chalky minerality and a lingering finish. Drinking Window 2025 - 2030.

95 Points - James Suckling    Very fragrant with effusive, floral notes and some sour cherry. This is a very graceful and filigree wine, in which the tannins show at the end as if suddenly emerging from the depths. In spite of that, the finish is super elegant. Better from 2021.

91 Points - Vinous    The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes from a one-hectare parcel of old vines. It has an attractive bouquet of raspberry, forest floor and fern-like aromas that gather momentum in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, good depth, and a little chewiness on the entry. I would like a little more detail and tension on the finish. Let’s see how it performs once in bottle.
