Critics Scores

Here the wood treatment is more pronounced though not so much as to stifle the markedly earthy and again notably floral-scented nose of black raspberry liqueur and plum aromas. There is excellent size, weight and richness to the big-bodied and intensely mineral-driven flavors that brim with dry extract before exploding on the wonderfully persistent finish where the wood resurfaces. Like the Champeaux this should be approachable after 7 to 8 years yet if you want to see it at its peak, it will need at least 15 years.
Decanter
A blend of five diverse terroirs. Rich, dense and powerful cherry nose, followed by a formidable weight of ripe fruit on the palate with a subtle smokiness. Broad and seamless, a mighty wine with density and power but no undue extraction. Spicy and vigorous, it lacks some finesse at the moment, needing time to become harmonious. Undoubtedly impressive and imposing. Good length, and a chewy finish. Drinking Window 2020 - 2035

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques comes from five parcels spread from the bottom to the top. It is matured in 70 new oak with 20 whole bunches. It has wonderful clarity and detail on the nose: a mixture of black and red fruit, cold stone, hints of violet and blood orange. The palate is extremely well balanced, fleshy and generous with layers of raspberry, strawberry, brown spices and a touch of tobacco towards the finish. There is tremendous weight and focus here with a very persistent finish. This is superb Lavaux Saint-Jacques.
