A seriously pretty nose of earthy yet high-toned and cool red berry fruit aromas that offer subtle spice hints and a touch of underbrush that merge seamlessly into elegant and very fine mineral-infused middle weight flavors that are rich, intense and possess solid mid-palate concentration. I very much like the poise this wine displays as it's harmonious, transparent and beautifully well-balanced. This is a gorgeous combination of energy, balance and harmony. In short, this is a stunner.
Tasted at the Domaine. The Clos St.-Jacques is blessed with a complex, enthralling nose of pure black cherry, boysenberry and citrus fruits with outstanding definition and after a few minutes (whilst chatting!) it evolves a background accent of exotic fruits such as mango and apricot. The palate is medium-bodied with superb acidity, outstanding definition and great tension. Perhaps a little linear at this primordial stage, but it will develop beautifully once in bottle. Immense potential. Drink now-2025 Tasted November 2008.
nitially more spicy than the Combe aux Moines. More specifically cherry fruit. Darker and more savoury. Fine fine tannins and excellent freshness, as on all his wines tasted in this line up. So young but already hinting at its ability to charm. Drink 2012 - 2022
The most aromatically complex wine to this point with seriously pretty earthy yet high-toned and cool red berry fruit aromas that offer subtle spice hints and a touch of underbrush that merge into elegant and very fine mineral-infused middle weight flavors that are rich, intense and possess solid mid-palate concentration. I very much like the poise this wine displays as it's harmonious, transparent and beautifully well-balanced. This is a beautiful combination of energy, balance and harmony. In short, this is a stunner.
