Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques 2014
Here too there is enough wood to notice on the expressive nose that is riper than is typical for LSJ. In the same vein the medium-bodied flavors are notably richer than is typical for a young LSJ with plenty of minerality on the robust, powerful and concentrated finish. This is serious if a bit atypical and note well that it’s going to require plenty of cellar time to reach its apogee.

Burghound.com is the result of a nearly lifelong passion for the wines of Burgundy. For more than 30 years, I have been collecting the wines and visiting the region. Each year I spend nearly five months visiting, researching, tasting, exploring and evaluating. Burgundy is my obsession really. Expanding on my coverage of the coveted pinot noir grape, each issue provides continuous coverage of both Oregon and California pinot noir, with rotating coverage of Champagne and occasional special reports from other pinot producing regions.
