Expert Reviews

Jasper Morris 95 Points | A fine fresh purple, the nose is a bit stricter, maybe a hair more concentrated and a little darker in fruit than the village wines. This kicks on very well at the back, liquid dark raspberry, slightly firmer tannins, still very promising.
Barrel Sample: 93-95. (2020). 

Robert Parker 93 Points | Mingling aromas of sweet berry fruit and cherries with hints of forest floor, black truffle, burning embers and warm spices, Rousseau's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is medium to full-bodied, lively and concentrated, with an especially intense, tightly wound profile for a cuvée that's often rather delicate. Concluding with a long, penetrating finish, it shows considerable potential. Barrel Sample: 91-93. (2020). 

Vinous 92 Points | The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a mineral-driven bouquet with dark berry fruit, sous-bois and just a touch of dessicated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity. Is it the most complex Lavaux? Maybe not, though it has an attractive juiciness mixed with sapidity that keeps you coming back for more. Barrel Sample: 90-92. (2022).
