Score 88-90/100 · Neal Martin
The 2106 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques from Tortochot has a simple, rather rustic bouquet that needs a little more cohesion. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly coarse tannin, leafy with simple red berry fruit, but it needs a little more length to come through on the finish. Not bad, though not from the top drawer of this premier cru. Dec 2017, www.robertparker.com

About the producer
Domaine Tortochot
Situated in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Tortochot may not carry the cachet of the very top domaines in the village, but it does offer some of the best value, producing wines with great terroir transparency in their top Premiers and Grands Crus, and fabulous village wines.
