Tasting Notes
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques Cuvee Centenaire 1er Cru is picked by 12 harvesters who zone in on the oldest part of vineyard -- over 100-year-old vines, to be precise. It is only the second time it has been made apart from the 2010. Deep in color, it has a very intense bouquet, the fruit darker than the regular Clos Saint Jacques with hints of oyster shell and wilted violet petals. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannin but what makes this different is the structure and the density of this wine. It is very powerful but so elegant on the finish, though it will clearly need several years in bottle before you even dream of opening it. Two barrels produced - good luck finding it.
