A high-toned and ultra pure red pinot fruit nose with evident minerality and floral notes merges seamlessly into layered, sweet, deep and concentrated middle weight flavors brimming with dry extract and serious punch and vibrancy on the strikingly long finish. This is a balanced and harmonious effort with all the structural elements in perfect proportion. Terrific.

The 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques has a gorgeous, heart-warming bouquet of cranberry leaf, wilted rose petals and subtle tertiary scents that are very delineated and focused. The pedigree of the vineyard comes through here. The palate is medium-bodied with a vibrant, vivacious entry, smooth in texture, quite succulent for a Clos Saint-Jacques with candied orange peel on the youthful and stylish finish. While it is not the greatest wine that Jean-Marie has ever overseen, this 2006 is doling out so much drinking pleasure, even if I would be inclined to afford it another couple of years in bottle.
