Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep and complex, the 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) unwinds in the glass with aromas of cassis and plums mingled with orange zest, spices and vine smoke. Medium to full-bodied, ample and velvety, its broad attack segues into a supple, seamless mid-palate that's underpinned by lively acids.

Description
The Louis Jadot winery was born out of the conviction that wine must express its origin with sincerity. In the case of the Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard - located in Gevrey-Chambertin, north of the Côte de Nuits -this philosophy reaches a sublime expression. Although officially classified as Premier Cru, Clos Saint-Jacques has long been considered a de facto Grand Cru because of its privileged south-eastern exposure and its limestone and clay loam soils. Only five owners share this exceptional vineyard, and Louis Jadot vinifies it with the same rigour as his most reputable crus. The grape variety is 100% Pinot Noir, cultivated with respectful, manual viticulture that seeks to preserve the character of the terroir rather than impose a style.
Winemaking
Louis Jadot Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is harvested by hand in small crates to avoid damaging the fruit. Once in the cellar, the bunches are meticulously selected and destemmed. Fermentation takes place in open wooden or stainless steel vats for three to four weeks, with pigeage twice a day to extract the best from the skins. Ageing takes place for approximately 18 months in French oak barrels, one third of which are new. This careful ageing allows the wine to gain depth and structure without overloading the expression of the terroir.
Taste
On the nose, Louis Jadot Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques opens with a symphony of black cherry, wild blackberry and subtle notes of damp earth, undergrowth and mild spices. The oak adds nuances of cocoa, fine tobacco and a light smokiness that integrate without overshadowing the fruit. The palate is firm but refined, with taut tannins and vibrant acidity supporting a precise structure. The minerality is pronounced - a kind of lively limestone - and there is a slight saline touch on the finish. Persistent and elegant, Louis Jadot Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is a deep Pinot Noir, with restrained energy, perfect for game dishes, grilled meats or to drink slowly, while revealing its multiple layers with patience.
