2020 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, Clos Saint-Jacques 1x750ml

Vinous 98

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a well-defined nose with beautiful red berry fruit, briar, hints of crushed stone and orange pith. This blossoms in the glass. The palate has exquisite balance, real depth and a gentle grip. There is a wonderful symmetry about this Clos Saint-Jacques, and there is a surfeit of mineralité towards the finish, the sapidity beckoning another sip. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. [Neal Martin, 10/01/2024]
