The 2014 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaut St Jacques comes from a single parcel of around 72-year-old vines. It has a tightly wound, taciturn nose...cool like this vineyard, reserved at the moment but nicely defined. Aeration allows you to eke out subtle crushed strawberry and kirsch scents but they remain contained. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, supple tannin. It is nicely balanced. What is needs is a little more complexity towards the finish that is stubborn and linear, and more mineralité to shine through. Maybe that will develop during the remainder of its élevage.
