2023 Gevrey-Chambertin, Lavaux St-Jacques, Louis Jadot

There is plenty of sauvage character to the ripe red and black cherry scents that display ample amounts of forest floor. The exceptionally generously proportioned flavors are rich to the point of opulence while exuding a lovely bead of minerality that adds a sense of vibrancy to the muscular and powerful finish where the supported tannins are pronounced. This youthfully austere effort is perhaps riper than a classic example but one aspect both have in common is that built-to-age quality. ~ (93) Allen Meadows, Burghound 4-1-2025

The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a more meaty bouquet compared to the Estournelles—perhaps without quite the same degree of purity—with just a very subtle savory/dried blood tincture. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. The acidity is well judged and there's real heft on the finish. At the moment it's a bit of a "blunt instrument" so to speak, but time will shave its edges, and its delineation and silkiness are commendable. ~ (93) Neal Martin, Vinous 1-1-2025

Another strong effort, the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) offers up aromas of cassis, orange zest, spiced plums and petals, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless palate that lends this rendition an unusual immediacy. ~ (93) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-30-2025
