FAIVELEY - Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques - 2021

FAIVELEY

Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques 2021

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru offers one of my favourite bouquets from Faiveley in this vintage: open redcurrant and wild strawberry scents, touches of sous-bois and truffle, very expressive and charming. The palate is well balanced with finely-chiselled tannins, quite energetic, perhaps because compared to their Les Cazetiers, this was barely touched by the frost. Almost confit-like on the finish. Excellent.
