Vinous (88-91)
Bright palish red. Distinctly red aromas of cherry and rose petal. Sappy and perfumed, conveying lovely inner-mouth floral lift and noteworthy finesse. Nicely suave, fine-grained wine with smooth tannins and very good length. These vines are planted on soil rich in white marl, like Clair's Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers and Bonne-Mares, and routinely has the highest pH in the cellar (3. 7 in 2014). But this 2014 does not lack for energy.Inc. VAT£1,511.38 -

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2014 tasting, the 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques has a stunning, pure, life-affirming bouquet that is just pure class and delivers exactly what you expect from a vineyard of this caliber (and price!). The palate is medium-bodied with succulent, pure red berry fruit tinged with spice and a hint of Seville orange marmalade. The tannins are filigree and the harmony toward the finish makes you giddy. This is a fabulous Clos Saint Jacques from Bruno Clair that challenges Rousseau as the pick of the five growers this year. Tasted September 2017.Inc. VAT£3,535.27 -
Vinous (92)
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru has a beautifully defined, elegant bouquet of disarming purity – a real charmer. The palate is very well balanced, demonstrating assiduous use of stems. Poised, natural and tensile toward the tart finish, this is classic Gevrey-Chambertin, very well crafted if just a little exotic in style. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Inc. VAT£2,272.18
