Not sure you would like it - rosemary , EVOO, salt pepper and finished with a nice smoked salt from Eataly...

Lavaux St. Jacques Cuvée Unique Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir

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. — 8 years ago

A nice surprise and was served blind after a Gevrey first growth, someone called Barolo even, which made sense except for the length that was less than average. Aromas of tobacco leaf, spices, grippy tannins and a nice acidity, pretty good balance overall although I found it to have notes of early evolution.

Belle surprise après un Lavaux St-Jacques, certains pensaient Barolo, très vrai malgré une finale courte. Feuilles tabac, épices, acidité assez forte et des tannins asséchants un petit peu, je l’ai trouvé un peu évolué.

Lioco

Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

LIOCO really knows how to make the best of Hirsch fruit. Elegant perfume, great body, and strong finish. The dark fruit is maturing nicely and the secondaries are starting to sing. Reminds me a bit of Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques. — 8 years ago

Lavaux St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Pinot Noir

Medium weight, lots of red fruit, showy. Was offered as an alternative to the Clos de la Roche (I drunk their last bottle on a previous occasion), doesn’t come close. — 6 years ago

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)

Paul Thevenin

Lavaux St-Jacques 1er Cru Gevrey Chambertin Pinot Noir 1964

Gorgeous bottle of 1964 Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St-Jacques from Paul Thevenin yesterday!Cherries and raspberries poured generously over that core of sweet-savoury, light peppered pork loin that I always associate with Gevrey. Long with great acidity and a persistent but understated umami character on the palate. A bit of a surprise, as this is the first time I (and Delectable) have come across this producer - has anyone else? — 7 years ago

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques Pinot Noir 2015

This is a Burgundy that needs to breathe, as both the nose and the taste expand exponentially over time. At first taste I was not impressed. While the initial nose was pleasing, I thought it was only average. I was distracted by other things and came back to it about 30 minutes later. The difference was nothing short of amazing; complex cherry, currants and dark chocolate wafted through my nose and it was both smooth and delicious. Zero aftertaste with a good balance between tannins and acidity. — 8 years ago
