The stunningly complex nose is broadly similar to that of the Cazetiers except that here it's noticeably more refined and perhaps a bit more mineral-inflected as well. There is dazzling precision and intensity to the mineral-driven linear and gorgeously vibrant flavors that possess the same remarkably depth of the nose while culminating in an explosive linear and poised finish that deliver huge length. I very much like the sense of harmony and refinement and this is really quite Zen-like.

The 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos-Saint-Jacques is all about finesse and seamless beauty. A refined aristocratic Burgundy the Clos Saint-Jacques is endowed with the silkiest of tannins and flat-out beauty from start to finish. The wine fleshes out on the palate with layers of red berries flowers and licorice that gain volume and breadth with time in the glass. There is plenty of brightness and minerality to lend a gorgeous element of vibrancy on the close. I loved it. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2030. -Antonio Galloni
