40% has been vinified with pedicels, and aged in 30% new wood. Fresh purple colour, with energy to the nose. Immediately approachable but with considerable weight behind. Fills the middle of the mouth, suave and sensual, a light touch of white pepper and a long, balanced finish. The tannins are hiding behind the fruit where they will stay. A couple of chocolate notes. Drink from 2026-2033.
A more restrained and distinctly cool nose is at once quite elegant and spicy while displaying an array of both red and dark currant, earth and violet. The dense, muscular and powerful big-bodied flavors flash plenty of minerality on the wonderfully persistent, compact, austere and serious finale. This is a classic and very tightly wound LSJ that is likely to remain that way for most of the next decade. (Drink starting 2033)
The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques reveals aromas of sweet red berries, rose petals, loamy soil and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and open-knit palate, concluding with a saline finish.
