Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux Saint Jacques, Domaine Armand Rousseau 2021

Tasting Notes

A spicy if restrained and exceptionally cool nose grudgingly gives up its aromas of red and dark currant, the sauvage, newly turned earth and humus. The racy yet dense and powerful big-bodied flavors flash excellent minerality on the beautifully long and chiseled finale. This could use better depth, but the Rousseau LSJ has a fine aging track record. Fine potential here. Note: from a .76 ha parcel Drink: 2033+

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques offers up aromas of plums, berries, orange zest, vine smoke, loamy soil and creamy oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with good depth at the core, powdery tannins and bright acids, it's a strong effort.
