The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is completely destemmed. It has an open-knit bouquet of brambly red fruit, singed leather and loamy aromas, all well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit and lightly spiced. The pleasant edgy finish leaves a hint of dark chocolate on the aftertaste. Very fine and commendable salinity.
Faiveley owns just under 1ha in the cool site of Lavaux-St-Jacques (following the purchase of Dupont-Tisserandot) and the oldest vines here were planted just after the Second World War. The wine is a bit restrained on the initial attack, but there is very pretty blackberry fruit scented with wild herbs that opens up on the palate, along with a silky texture and lovely length.

A cool, pure and ultra-fresh nose features plenty of sauvage and underbrush characters on the pretty mélange of wild red and dark berry aromas. The tension-filled and intensely mineral-driven flavors are supported by dense but relatively fine tannins on the explosively long, youthfully austere and serious finale. Unusually for Lavaut, this possesses a beguiling inner mouth perfume that renders this all the more attractive.
