(6x75cl) 2018Vinous (94-96)
The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet that just pips the Cazetiers for precision and poise. This is detailed and very finely tuned, the oak married perfectly with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very well-judged acidity, almost sorbet-fresh. The vivacious blood-orange-infused finish seems to shimmer. This is a great Clos Saint-Jacques from Louis Jadot.Inc. VAT£1,107.12 -
Decanter (95)
This 1ha of vines at the centre of the Clos-St-Jacques vineyard is among the jewels in the Jadot holdings, purchased in 1985 from the Clair-Daü heirs. The fruit delivers ripe fruit that is more black than red in nature, with a fabulous mineral complexity and a gamey edge. The texture is firm but not unyielding, with grip and freshness as well as rich extract, and a lingering finish. This should age extremely well.Inc. VAT£1,160.75 -
(1x300cl) 2020Tim Atkin MW (95)
This is the most brooding of the four of five Clos Saint Jacques tasted for this report. It is singularly concentrated with tightly coiled black fruits: blackberries, sloe and black currants. The tannins are slightly coarse but not drying and will nicely melt into this boisterous wine in due time. The fresh current of acidity draws out the finale that shows some herbal uplift. 2025-38Inc.

Cask sample. Bright mid garnet. Sweet, jewelly, bright-fruited nose. Superior density and great fragrance. Real impact on the palate. Great persistence. Refined but not scrawny. Lifted and elegant on the nose with real breadth on the palate. Just gorgeous already even though one knows that it will just go on getting better and better.Inc. VAT£709.56 -

Vinous - Neal Martin (95-97)
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er 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.Inc. VAT£625.56 -
(3x75cl) 2023Vinous - Neal Martin (94-96)
The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru, which was shown as a blend of foudre and barrel, really shows its class (as usual). It is blessed with much more delineation and mineralité than the Estournelles or Lavaux, soaring in the glass with vivacious red fruit and just a subtle flintiness in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It does not quite possess the ambition of the 2022 and is perhaps a little stricter, but I adore the hoisin-tinged finish and sustained peppery aftertaste. There is class here, and this should age easily for 20 to 25 years.Expected Price Range£460 - £562 -

Jancis Robinson (17)
Cask sample. Deep garnet. Intense ferny undergrowth on the nose and pretty exciting vivacity on the palate. More concentrated than most. Closer perhaps to the traditional view of red burgundy. There is so much fruit that you could, with murder in mind, drink this even sooner. GV (relatively).Inc. VAT£647.60 -
Tim Atkin MW (95)
This wine smells like where it comes from: high on the hills of Gevrey, tucked in near to the forest. Forest floor and fresh mushrooms mingle with bramble and blackberries. Nicely ripe and less crunchy than it often is, the full body is surrounded by spicy tannins and generous acidity. 2024-35Inc. VAT£538.69 -

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (91-94)
Bright mid ruby, not much nose, but the suggestion of a lighter brighter approach. Very good red fruit energy on the palate, a suspicion of limestone, clean and fairly long. Drink from 2029-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.Expected Price Range£248 - £303 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92-95)
An even bright colour. There is slightly more fruit here on the nose in a soft raspberry style. Quiet a volume too on the palate, generous, quite nuanced, good structure too, and a more persistent finish. Drink from 2030-2038. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. VAT£696.80 -
(1x75cl) 2012Vinous (92-94)
Layers of blue/purple fruit, violets, spices, menthol and new leather blossom in the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers. Today, the 2012 is expressive and beautiful, with exceptional balance and a total sense of class. The Cazetiers is going to be virtually impossible to resist young, but it also has more than enough depth to develop nicely in bottle for many years.Inc. VAT£119.33 -

Danish pastries and roasted plums on the nose, very sweet and spicy. Fleshy and opulent on the palate, with great intensity of fruit. The tannins build and offer depth, structure and savour. Long and expansive on the finish.Inc. VAT£517.55 -
Vinous (93-95)
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has an exquisite bouquet of crystalline red berry fruit laced with minerals, wonderfully delineated and focused. The palate is smooth and sensual on the entry, and very cohesive, with a perfect line of acidity. Pure and ravishing, armed with a satin-textured finish, this is going to be very difficult to resist once in bottle. Superb.Inc. VAT£509.52 -
Vinous (92-94)
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is very composed on the nose with blackberry, briary, Earl Grey and light marine nuances on the finish. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy ripe red fruit, grippy tannins and though there is some new oak to be assimilated on the finish, it just needs 5-7 years in the cellar before you will surely have a fine Cazetiers on your hands.Inc.

(3x75cl) 2021Vinous (90-92)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a far superior nose to the Morey-Saint-Denis Village, with bright red berry fruit laced with undergrowth. The palate is well-balanced with decent tannins. It's fleshy but has grip and purity towards the finish. This is clearly the finest Village Cru from Jadot this year and comes highly recommended.Inc. VAT£398.80 -
Vinous (89-91)
(this is purchased wine, from a blend of old and young vines) Bright red-ruby. Spicy red cherry aroma with a floral topnote. Offers moderate stuffing but very good definition and lift, with a ripe chocolatey note. Has class but the finish shows a slight dryness and could be longer.Inc. VAT£998.00 -
(6x75cl) 2006Wine Spectator (92)
Still reserved, showing cherry, wild strawberry, mineral and spice aromas and flavors that gain steam on the palate as this builds to a long finish. The tannins still have a firm grip, so be patient. Best from 2012 through 2025. -BSInc. VAT£816.80 -
Vinous (89-92)
Good medium red. Ripe, musky aromas of red cherry and chocolate, with strong soil tones. At once creamy-sweet and juicy on the palate, with a fine-grained texture to the cherry and floral flavors. Finishes broad and sweet, with a palate-coating quality and enticing lift.Inc. VAT£1,036.84 -
Wine Advocate (90-92)
The 2009 Griotte-Chambertin is sweet, sensual and inviting. Deceptively medium in body, the wine shows plenty of density. Flowers, cinnamon and menthol emerge in the glass as this sensual wine flows through to the finish. There is just a hint of rusticity on the close; otherwise, this is a fine, generous Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2029.Inc. VAT£1,558.84 -

Burghound (96)
A dazzlingly complex and pure nose reveals an incredible breadth of spice-box and dark fruit aromas that are displaying only a whisper of secondary development along with just enough wood to comment on. The ripe and seductive yet incredibly intense medium-bodied flavors display marvelous depth and perfect balance on the sappy, sweet, powerful and hugely long finish that is beautifully detailed and focused. This beauty is a model of grace and understatement and while it could be drunk now with pleasure I would advise waiting as it seems quite clear that there is still plenty of unrealized development potential. In sum, this is stunningly good.Inc. VAT£4,890.48 -
(6x75cl) 2011Vinous (94-97)
Medium red. Reticent but pristine aromas of cranberry, raspberry and clove oil, plus an exhilarating suggestion of candied fruit. Superconcentrated, silky and utterly seamless; wonderfully spherical wine with great fruit intensity and complexity and a pungent crushed stone element. Combines a texture of liquid velvet with an almost magically light touch. Finishes with noble tannins and great length and grip. Even sweeter on the finish than the Amoureuses. Great wine in the making.Inc. VAT£4,047.20 -
Vinous (95-97)
The 2017 Musigny Grand Cru, which contains just under 50% stems, demands more coaxing than the Les Amoureuses, eventually revealing cranberry and hints of hoisin, sous-bois, tobacco and crushed stone aromas, all very complex. The palate is medium-bodied, with supple tannin framing pure dark berry fruit laced with brown spice, tobacco and sage. This Musigny displays wonderful density and power, yet retains the precision of a noble Burgundy on the long finish. Outstanding.Inc. VAT£4,442.44
