One of five lucky owners in this famed 1er Cru, Jadot purchased a small slice of this vineyard in 1985 so this is Domaine fruit. There is so much similar in this vineyard to the grand crus on the other side of the Combe de Lavaux; elevation, slope, soil. One slight difference is that it is a later ripening vineyard than the grand crus but this is not why it wasn’t included as a grand cru. It was decided in the 1930s in order to be a grand cru the vineyard in question needed to touch either Chambertin or Clos de Beze. Thus, Clos St. Jacques was “relegated” to 1er Cru. Still, Clive Coates calls it superior to all other 1er Crus in Gevery-Chambertin.
Vinous Media: 95-97 Points
The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru absolutely delivers on the nose from the very first sniff: complex mineral-driven red berry fruit, exquisitely defined, takes it up another level from the Lavaux Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with finely chiseled tannins. Poised yet powerful, it fans effortlessly toward the immensely detailed and beguiling finish. Jadot has stepped up a gear in terms of its Clos Saint-Jacques in recent vintages (for example, the 2019), and this will give the likes of Rousseau and Clair a run for their money. (NM)
