RATINGS

93Burghound.com

The generous wood this displayed from barrel has been almost completely eaten and has now been relegated to the background, which allow the ripe, elegant and airy mineral and underbrush infused red berry fruit aromas to take center stage.

92Stephen Tanzer

Complex nose melds redcurrant, cherry skin, smoked meat and underbrush. Sweet, supple and fleshy. A flavor of black raspberry lingers impressively on the finish, with juicy acidity providing shape and grip.

91The Wine Advocate

A mincemeat-like amalgam of dried berries, citrus zest, brown spices, and beef stock migrates from the nose to a palate that boasts dark chocolate richness along with forest floor mystery...

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin, Clos Saint-Jacques

Clos St. Jacques is a 17.7-acre Premier Cru vineyard in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation of Burgundy. Most Burgundy experts consider Clos St. Jacques to often be of equal quality to the nearby Grand Crus Chambertin and Clos de Beze. When the vineyard rankings were made in the 1930s it was decided that only vineyards contiguous with Chambertin and Clos de Beze could be Grand Crus. Clos St. Jacques lies to the west of the Grand Crus, but is very well situated at the same elevation as Chambertin and it has soil similar to Chambertin’s. Clive Coates notes that Clos St. Jacques “can be exquisite; rich, ample, full-bodied and distinctive.” Principal landowners are Armand Rousseau, 5.6 acres; Sylvie Esmonin, 4.5 acres; and Bruno Clair, 2.5 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
