These vineyards have become synonymous with greatness, crafting wines that define elegance, complexity, and longevity.

Rousseau's 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques is flat-out gorgeous. Waves of blue/purplish fruit hit the palate in an intense, explosive Burgundy loaded with pure class and pedigree. This is another 2011 that is going to need considerable time in bottle to come around. Today, the Clos St. Jacques impresses for its richness, power and depth.Inc. VAT£10,527.12 -

A heady, exotic Burgundy, the 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques is remarkably vivid for such a big wine, with freakish levels of concentration that are beautifully balanced by insistent veins of underlying minerality. Layers of pure Pinot fruit build through the mid-palate and finish as this voluptuous, racy wine shows off its fabulous pedigree. It simpy doesn't get too much better than this.Inc. VAT£3,836.81 -

The 2013 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques - En St. Jacques is a new bottling inspired by the original layout of the vineyard in which just the top and middle section were planted to grapes. I tasted the three micro-parcels - top, middle and bottom - separately, in and of itself a fascinating exercise, and then a hypothetical blend that will be about 60% top and 40% middle. A striking, powerful wine, the 2013 En St. Jacques hits the palate from all directions, with intense fruit, voluptuous texture and firm, vertical tannins. At bottling time, Rousseau added most of this juice to the Clos St. Jacques, although a small amount was set aside for the estate's library. Readers who have a chance to taste the 2013 are in for a real treat. Last updated April 8, 2015.Inc. VAT£1,655.60 -

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, Rousseau's 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques has a very refined and delineated bouquet with prudent use of new oak here that is seamlessly integrated and allows the vibrant red fruit to flourish. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp acidity, very good tension and a welcome dash of spice toward the finish that conveys genuine substance and class. The aftertaste is incredibly long—the mouth tingling with residual spiciness long after the wine has departed. This is stunning and, dare I suggest, equal to Rousseau's Chambertin and Clos de Bèze.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques 1er Cru has more fruit intensity than Jean-Marie Fourrier's (implying just a slightly later picking, perhaps), offering copious black plum, raspberry, sous-bois and subtle tobacco scents that are beautifully defined. The palate totally delivers: harmonious, succinct, beautifully structured, with perfect acidity that imparts a disarming sense of symmetry, and brilliantly articulated terroir expression on the sustained finish.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has another impressive bouquet from this flight with bolder yet delineated and vivacious red fruit that leaps from the glass. Real energy and focus here. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe pliant tannins that frame the mineral-driven red fruit. Plenty of vigour and tension throughout this Gevrey-Chambertin; it feels detailed and sapid on the finish, urging you back for more.

Good bright medium red. Reduced aromas of red fruits and flowers. Silky on entry, then tight in the middle palate, with a medicinal austerity and underlying stoniness giving the wine a firm edge. The red cherry flavor is complicated by a whiff of game. Usually it's the Lavaux that's more minerally and hard, notes Eric Rousseau, who points out that this cuvee features the highest average vine age of the domain.Inc. VAT£888.53
