Château St. Jacques D'albas

Domaine Cruchandeau

Aux Saints Jacques Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017

Lovely intense medium cherry lipstick nose. Palate is crunchy cherries. Delicious. Perfect balance. Amazing freshness. Stay tuned ... this will change as it opens.

As it opens the nose is dense perfume. Really concentrated. Almost like a gas transforming into a liquid in your nostrils.

Palate is amazing. Terrific texture. Crazy internal aromatics. Palate coating beyond belief.

90 minutes in this is spectacularly delicious.

This vaporizes chevillon so bad it’s not funny. Cant believe this is a village wine. Wow.

Tanins are still a bit chunky. My guess is that they need another 2-3 years to smooth out.

Bought from fass selections.

2016. Really great wine. A bit young and will be great in 5+ years. Earthy woodsy nose, medium body, some dark fruit with mineral. Decant for at least 1 hour. — 7 years ago

Red berries with a light cedar/pine aroma. Round and balanced on the palate with a sense of Minervois terroir. A pleasant, reasonably priced wine that's a new favorite! — 10 years ago

Clos St. Jacques Rully 1er Cru Chardonnay

Delicious, riding the edge between richness and raciness. Lemon sorbet, and if one might use the term without cliche, mineral cut. Great off-Cote Burgundy pleasure. — 10 years ago

Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot

Lavaut St Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Fuller bodied than expected (but barely medium weight) after reading about the Lavaux site which is cooler and south facing. It is always the last Rousseau Wine to be picked. Notes of sour red cherry and forest floor - lovely earthy aromas. Appropriate intensity and weight for a Premier Cru over a Grand Cru which are becoming over priced. I have one left which I would like to compare with a Bass Phillip Premium from Gippsland from 2009 both tasted blind. The consensus should be interesting. — 7 years ago

Interesting! I would have thought it would be quite a dense beast. I do love Lavaux, as it is as you say, a cooler site and usually has more perfume in youth than it’s neighbouring counterparts (re: Champeaux, Combottes, Clos St-Jacques etc)

Loads of Syrah spice and bay leaves additions, complementing its developed fruit character where pure, gently dried cherries, figs, Vahlrona chocolate and blackberry jam add complexity to the still promising, built-up finish. — 10 years ago

Torn. Needed to pick up some wine from east bank but didn’t get it done this week. Do I not have wine with prime ribeye, or do I crack one of my favorites that I had hoped to keep for a bit longer... and, now I have one fewer. :) — 8 years ago

This had tons of dense, dark, even meaty fruit and spice on the nose and the palate. I'd like to believe it will reveal more site specific character with time. I think it will end up a very nice wine, but I honestly don't know whether it will taste like CSJ.

Just loose enough, none of the squinchy quality it exhibited a couple of years ago. Can't wait for more.
