2015 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques 1er Cru

Other Reviews....
There is just enough wood present to mention but not so much as to materially detract from the attractively fresh, cool, pretty and airy red berry, earth, humus, anise and rose petal-scented aromas. The refined yet quite powerful middle weight are almost painfully intense and there is so much minerality the mouthfeel is akin to rolling small stones around in your mouth particularly so on the sappy, palate coating and hugely long finish. This too is seriously impressive and very classy.

Bright medium red. Captivating high-pitched perfume of raspberry, cranberry and flowers; Then juicy, penetrating and youthfully tight on the palate; plenty ripe and dense, not to mention utterly seamless, but shows rare energy for the vintage, with the tart red berry and crushed-stone qualities of the vineyard lifted by an ineffable floral quality. The slowly building finish displays superb echoing length. A brilliant 2015, this may be a more classic version of this vineyard than the estate's '16.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is more aromatically reserved and structurally massive than the Ruchottes-Chambertin, opening in the glass with notes of smoky red and black fruit, cedar, raw cocoa, orange rind and rich soil. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with an ample and assertive chassis of fine-grained but firm tannins and a long, taut finish. This is a superb wine which will need a good decade in the cellar to blossom, but while it's cut from similar cloth, I don't think it will ever attain the same lofty heights as the 2005 rendition.
