Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques, Domaine Fourrier 2020

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques wafts from the glass with aromas of cherries, sweet red berries, rose petals, orange rind, peonies and spices. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and complete, it's velvety and perfumed, with lively acids, beautifully refined tannins and a long, expansive finish.

Concentrated crimson purple. Perfect nose, such weight and intensity. Hard to find the words beyond saying that it is pretty much a perfect rendition. So much energy of fruit at the front end, that extra bit of lift and life from the stems, exceptional persistence, and a ripeness of fruit which seems perfectly judged. Tasted: December 2021
