Burghound
This also displays a deft touch of wood that surrounds the ultra-fresh and ultra-elegant, pure and superbly well-layered aromas that offer a broad array of both red and blue fruit, stone, exotic tea and dried floral hints. There is a striking vibrancy and intensity to the firmly mineral-driven medium weight flavors that possess simply gorgeous depth on the perfectly balanced and linear finish that delivers outstanding length. Textbook Clos St. Jacques.

Bright, dark red. Knockout nose combines raspberry, cherry, crushed stone and rose petal. Wonderfully sweet, silky and seamless, but with harmonious acidity energizing the mid-palate and keeping the wine's flavors under wraps today. Finishes with penetrating minerality, outstanding verve and a whiplash of red fruits. A beauty in the making, but lay it down. (ST, for Vinous.com)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques, has a very reduced nose at first and required vigorous aeration. There is a herbaceous and stem-like element that I had not noticed in previous bottles, before the wild berry and gamy scents emerge. The quality is really delivered on the palate: here there is the purity, the fineness of the tannin, the symmetry and precision we come to expect from both Fourrier and Clos Saint Jacques. It still requires another couple of years in bottle and I would not ascribe profundity to it. But there is something enigmatic and intriguing about this Clos Saint Jacques that impels me to plot its evolution. (NM)

Last year’s commemorative bottling of the one hundred year-old vines in the Fourrier section of Clos St. Jacques is now a thing of the past, and there is once again only a single cuvée of Clos St. Jacques in the cellars in 2011. Oh, but what a wine! The deep, transparent and magical nose wafts from the glass in a very sappy blend of red and black cherries, cocoa, grilled meats, black minerality, woodsmoke, fresh thyme and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a great core, a properly reserved structure, exceptional focus and a very long, chewy and still quite primary finish. This is going to be an absolutely brilliant wine at its apogee. (Drink between 2023-2075)

We consider Mugnier’s 2012 Chambolle-Musigny and Lafon’s 2011 Volnay Santenots but finally settle on Jean-Marie Fourrier’s 2011 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.- Jacques. Of course, the 2011 is much too young to drink, but finding Fourrier is next to impossible, so we can’t resist. The 2011 is deep, layered and seamless on the palate, with striking aromatics, finely-sculpted fruit and superb balance. It needs another decade in bottle, but is captivating, even at this early stage. (AG) 94+
