The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques bursts from the glass with a stunning bouquet of orange rind, peonies, ripe wild berries, cassis, exotic spices and espresso roast, framed by a beautifully integrated application of new oak. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, velvety and multidimensional, with ripe acids, a deep and concentrated core and a long, sapid finish. This is one of the riper wines in the cellar, with just over 13% natural alcohol, but it's beautifully balanced.
As is often the case, this is both cooler and more restrained with its array of wonderfully fresh dark berry fruit aromas that are copiously laced with sauvage nuances. The sleek, intense and muscular middle weight plus flavors brim with a refreshing salinity that really comes up on the powerful, focused and youthfully austere finish. This is lovely though again, clearly built-to-age.
