Wine Reviews
One of the high points of the range is the 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium- to full-bodied, lively wine with good depth and ripeness that evokes notions of cassis, sweet berries and peonies, framed by nicely integrated wood.
The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a fragrant bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, hints of cassis and violet. Fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip. Harmonious, finely judged acidity, there is a sense of tension here with welcome underlying bitter cherry notes that lend tension. This is a fine follow-up to the 2023 Lavaux and it should repay a bit of bottle age.
Cool and restrained aromas are composed by notes of essence of red berries humus and forest floor. The juicy yet punchy and serious medium-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the very well-delineated flavors that flash a hint of bitter pit fruit character on the youthfully austere and persistent finish.
