Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux Saint Jacques, Lucien Le Moine 2013

A pure nose features notes of cherry and earth and game and the oak influence is all but invisible. I very much like the sense of focused power and really lovely delineation on the muscular flavors that are notably less refined than those of the ESJ yet there is more size, weight and depth on the dusty, austere and impressively persistent finish. This robust and very firmly structured effort is also entirely typical in the context of a classic Lavaut.
