In 2023, Bruno Clair’s Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques leans on precision and poise rather than sheer power, with finely etched red and black berry fruit layered by rose, subtle spice and a hint of citrus lift. The palate is medium-bodied but concentrated, silky at the core yet tightly framed by youthful tannins, suggesting real depth in reserve and a long, elegant finish that promises to become more expressive with time. This is a serious, ageworthy Clos St Jacques that rewards patience over early showiness.

Bruno Clair’s Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques is a poised, deeply detailed Pinot Noir from one of Gevrey’s most revered premier cru vineyards, often spoken of as grand cru in all but name. From a 1-hectare, high-slope parcel on red clay-limestone with old vines, it marries pure, layered red fruit and floral notes with pronounced limestone minerality, freshness, and finely etched structure. Long maceration and extended barrel aging give a wine that is both ethereal and powerful, built to unfold gracefully over decades.
