Decanter
The Clos St-Jacques is lovely, wafting from the glass with notes of griotte cherry, dried cep, rose petal and rosehip, with a classy framing of cedary, smoky new oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied and fine-grained, with an elegant chassis of tannin, a sappy core of fruit. It has a lovely sense of completeness and should develop beautifully in the cellar. Drinkin Window 2026 - 2050.
Wine Spectator
Gorgeous aromas of rose, strawberry, cherry and sandalwood are enhanced by licorice, earth and spice notes on the palate in this complex, harmonious red. Silky and racy, this channels a minerally graphite element on the long aftertaste. Best from 2022 through 2045.
Vinous
Bright, dark red. Wonderfully aromatic but restrained aromas of black raspberry, coffee and smoky minerality. Juicy, penetrating and sharply delineated on the palate, showing a floral element that was not obvious on the nose. Rather muscular for this cuvée at this early stage, just this side of austere. Cyrielle Rousseau noted that this wine was made without fruit from the lower part of the vineyard, which normally contributes lightness and a "dancing quality." The top of the vineyard, she added, provides the power and the middle of the slope the body.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques, where 20 at the bottom of the vineyard was lost to frost, nevertheless has a wonderful bouquet that blossoms in the glass, quite floral with wilted rose petals, minerals and vivid red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied and a little bit more sinewy than previous years, with good density and vigor but perhaps not with quite the same precision as the Ruchottes on the finish. Perhaps this is one cru from Rousseau that is not quite up there with the 2015, but then again, this wine can produce miracle in bottle...(NM)

Rousseau noted that the 2016 CSJ contains more fruit from the upper portion as the lower part was heavily affected by the frost. An elegant, pure and exuberantly spicy nose blends notes of essence of red berries with wisps of earth, lavender and a background hint of oak. The equally pure middle weight flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration along with the same intense mineral streak as the Ruchottes while delivering stunningly good depth and persistence on the beautifully well-balanced finish. As good as the Ruchottes is, and it's first-rate, there is simply another dimension present here.
