Tasting Notes
Neal Martin 93
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a beguiling, tertiary, wet limestone tinged bouquet with precise red berry fruit and touches of bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, quite saline in the mouth, building towards a lightly spiced, tensile finish that lingers. Wonderful.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2040

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques has turned out especially well, something Duroche attributes to the small size of the grapes this year. Offering up notes of dark berries, peonies, spices and loamy soil, it’s medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids, powdery tannins and a long, perfumed finish.
