The 2016 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques includes 35% whole bunch fruit and matured in 40% new oak for 17 months. It has a tightly wound bouquet with dark berry fruit, a touch of damp soil and dried blood with good vigor all around. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly sharp tannin and plenty of sour cherry and strawberry fruit, but it falls short on the finish. Hopefully this will find more matière with time.
