In 2023, Louis Jadot’s Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques Premier Cru shows a poised, finely etched side of this great terroir, with vivid red and dark berry fruit, spice and a cool, stony edge framed by noticeable but well-shaped oak. The palate is medium-bodied yet concentrated, silky in texture with refined tannins and a long, slightly bitter-cherry and pepper-tinged finish that promises real complexity as it sheds its wood and opens with time. This is a serious, ageworthy Clos St. Jacques built more on precision and tension than sheer power.

Louis Jadot’s Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques Premier Cru is a pure Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most revered “grand cru in all but name” sites on the Combe de Lavaux, where limestone-clay and marl soils and a southeast exposure give a marriage of power, finesse, and minerality. Jadot’s strip runs from the bottom to the top of this walled premier cru, yielding a full-bodied yet finely structured wine with vibrant red and dark berry fruit, spice and earth complexity, and the depth to age gracefully for decades in great vintages.
