Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Bruno Clair 2016

Tasting Notes

An impressively layered, cool and ultra-fresh nose combines notes of spice, earth, plum and red berry fruit liqueur, all of which is trimmed in a deft touch of oak. There is equally good depth to the racy and mouth coating medium weight flavors that possess fine mid-palate concentration along with excellent punch on the lightly mineral-inflected, balanced and persistent finish. This is beautifully well-balanced and very classy though once again, at least moderate patience will be necessary.

Mid purple, the nose is not so classy as the very best, a faint green touch. Nonetheless there remains a core of elegance, a little bit of slightly lactic oak, not easy to read today. A touch of sweet and sour, this wine is in an adolescent phase today and may rediscover its touch later.

Bright crimson. Rich and black peppery. Then smooth and polished. A little lighter and fresher than Les Cazetiers. Elegant. Drink between 2022-2036
