(91-93) Here the nose is actually quite similar to that of the Cazetiers if perhaps slightly cooler and more restrained. There is a velvety and mouth coating palate feel to the medium-bodied flavors thanks to the abundance of dry extract that pushes the exceptionally firm supporting tannins to the background on the super-intense, robust and gorgeously long finale. This is a notably big-bodied LSJ that is more rustic than usual and one that will also require extended bottle aging.

(91-93 points) The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques has the most outgoing and maybe most exotic aromatic profiles among Jadot's Gevrey premier crus, with kirsch and fig infusing the red and blackberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very focused and tensile even if it does not quite possess the complexity and ambition of the Cazetiers. Very fine. - NM
