Just 8 barrels made from 1.2ha in 2020. No whole bunch here. 15% typically for most other crus and the Gevrey-Chambertin Etelois. Fine concentrated purple with only a slight darker tint. The deep raspberry fruit surges across the palate in beautiful style, all in harmony and with excellent nuances. Floral peony notes at the back.
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques is quite tightly wound, exhibiting notions of dark berries, loamy soil, spices, licorice, vine smoke and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, bright and lively, with powdery tannins and a saline finish, it's more reserved out of the gates than the more demonstrative 2019 at the same stage.
