Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux Saint Jacques, Roche de Bellene 2015

A very Gevrey nose combines notes of humus, underbrush, forest floor and a hint of the sauvage along with ripe yet fresh dark berry fruit aromas. The rich and relatively concentrated medium-bodied flavors possess reasonably good energy and solid power before culminating in a moderately austere, firm and lingering finish where touches of warmth and bitter cherry pit character emerge. This is clearly very backwards and will need time to harmonize. Producer note: Note that all of the wines are bottled under Diam corks that are stamped with the relevant information that includes producer, vintage and appellation. Drink: 2027+

Cask sample, not racked.
Lively crimson. Lots of rich fruit and sweetness. Very flattering. Some raciness and polished tannins.
