A full-bodied, complex wine, this Premier Cru has a broad array of aromas and fine expression of terroir as well as impressive length on the palate. It will develop for more than 10 years in the bottle or up to 40 in great vintages.
Serve with game, meats, mushroom dishes and strong cheeses.
Vinous: 98 Points
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a very perfumed and floral bouquet that takes time to settle in the glass, displaying lavender-tinged red fruit, potpourri, and very fine definition, with subtle use of whole bunch. The palate is medium-bodied with svelte tannins. This possesses fine acidity, commendable depth, and perhaps just a little tightness toward the finish compared to its peers, but there is wonderful density here. This needs four or five more years in bottle, but, my word, I dont' think I have ever been smitten by a young Jadot like this, and it romps home as best CSJ in show.
James Suckling: 97 Points
Stunning forest-berry nose! So beautifully balanced, in spite of the almost opulent ripeness and the huge, fine tannins. Great drive and energy on the very focused palate that heads off into the far distance under full sail. Enormous mineral freshness at the exceptionally long finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2024.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Aromas of mint and sweet spices lead off in this red, while the flavors evoke black cherry, blackberry and graphite. This seems reticent, like it's holding back, ending with a compact, gripping finish. Super fresh, with the mint note echoing on the long aftertaste.

Outstanding
Slightly more subtle, though still moderately prominent, wood sets off the very spicy, cool and elegant aromas that consist mostly of red and dark currant and iron-inflected earth. There is very good volume and verve suffusing the refined and classy middle weight flavors that brim with minerality and dry extract where the latter helps to buffer the very firm tannic spine shaping the compact, powerful and strikingly long finale. This excellent effort will likely need a minimum of 10 years before it can be reasonably approached and should reward up to 20 years of keeping.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) is very promising, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, cherries, warm spices, candied peel, rose petals and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and muscular, with serious concentration and rich reserves of ripe, powdery tannin, it concludes with a bright, precise finish.
