2022, Domaine Bruno Clair, GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN, 1er Cru, 'Clos Saint Jacques'

Glowing purple. The bouquet is absolutely regal. What else to say? The palate offers a fantastic complexity varying from the sweetness of perfect ripeness through to a more savoury character from the terroir. The length of flavour transcends anything else. Gracefulness personified. **** 95-97 Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.

Relatively firm reduction renders the nose unreadable at present. Otherwise, there is outstanding richness and volume to the caressing yet powerful and super-sleek middleweight plus flavours that possess excellent depth and persistence on the muscular but youthfully austere and decidedly firm finish. Once again this offers first-rate development potential but in a very compact package. 92-95 Burghound.

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is firmer and more reserved than the Cazetiers. Exhibiting notes of cherries, dark berries, vine smoke and petals, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with a deep but tightly wound core that's still some way from revealing all its secrets. 92-94 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.
