The 2024 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is limited to a single foudre this year (equivalent to eight barrels). It demands a little more coaxing than usual from the nose but repays your patience with gorgeous scents of brambly red berries, rosehip, orange pith and crushed stone. It just exudes the essence of Clos Saint-Jacques. The palate is beautifully balanced with fine tannins and a crisp line of acidity. Very harmonious, almost silky in texture, it discreetly fans out towards the finish and has much more persistence than the Estournelles or Lavaux. Despite the poor season, Jadot manages to make a wonderful Clos Saint-Jacques. 2029-2050
An even crimson colour, not the deepest, but then the dark fruited concentration really kicks in on the palate, with a sterner structure and fine persistence. The nobility of the terroir transcends the vintage. Perhaps not quite the mid palate amplitude of a richer year, but the 2024 Clos St-Jacques has been well made. Drink from 2032-2038. Tasted Oct 2025.
Together with the Corton Pougets this was the best red we tasted of the Jadot 2024s. The nose is so bright and enticing, lively and layered with no hint of greenness or dilution. The palate is built on sappy red berries, a little herbal and peppery spice and wood that is just right for the fruit style of the year. Ethereal but intense, there is a lot to like here, all in high floral tones and spice. The texture builds with savoury grip, showing some ageing potential to this wine. A highlight for Jadot this year - as to be expected from a site like Clos St Jacques.
