Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux Saint Jacques, Domaine Dugat-Py 2020

A markedly more sauvage-inflected nose speaks mostly of earth and humus on the ripe dark berry fruit aromas. There is superb density to the powerful and palate drenching large-bodied flavors that also exude plenty of minerality on the explosively long, robust and vaguely rustic finish. This is exceptionally serious and will need ample time to achieve its full, and considerable, potential.

Unfurling in the glass with aromas of rose petals, rich berry fruit, plums, exotic spices, blood orange and vine smoke, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a seamless profile, striking intensity and a long, perfumed finish. This is a vibrant, penetrating Lavaux Saint-Jacques that has resumed its position as the domaine's dominant premier cru.
