Louis Jadot Description
One of the 26 Premiers Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux-Saint-Jacques is located at the beginning of the Combe de Lavaux on clay and chalk soils that bear a resemblance to those of the nearby Grands Crus. The Pinot Noir grapes are fermented for up to one month in vats, and then the wine is matured for 18 to 20 months in oak barrels before bottling.

Outstanding
A ripe and fresh if somber nose reluctantly offers up its aromas of forest floor, game and dark berry fruit liqueur. There is fine volume, power and minerality to the muscular and relatively sleek flavors that culminate in a compact, mineral-driven and moderately austere finish that isn't exactly old school in style but the word 'robust' does come to mind. While this very firm effort won't win any awards for elegance, I like the frank and direct character plus it should age effortlessly.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
Aromas of cassis, plums, vanilla pod and orange rind preface the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot), a medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated wine that combines admirable depth of fruit with vibrant acidity and powdery tannin. This will be long-lived.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet with red cherries, blackcurrant, crushed violet and light stony aromas. This is nicely focused with good vigour. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity, touches of orange rind and marmalade enlivening the peppery finish.
