Clos Saint‑Jacques is often hailed as the “Musigny” of Gevrey‑Chambertin. It combines the signature power and structure of Gevrey with the elegance and finesse of Vosne‑Romanée, and Armand Rousseau’s bottling has always been remarkably consistent.
2004 was a challenging vintage—a weak year in which many grapes failed to reach full ripeness. Now that it has entered its drinking window, it opens up quite nicely. This is not a flamboyant style; instead, it leans more toward herbaceous notes and bay leaf, with hints of florals and red cherry. It has a mineral quality, yet without the saline or briny character often found in other Gevrey vineyards. The acidity is well‑balanced. The overall bouquet is delicately fresh, reserved rather than exuberant, yet persistent, and it doesn’t evolve dramatically over time. — 2 months ago

As a wine seller at my fave bottle shop recently told me, natural Cab Francs are a whole new taste. I always liked Cab Francs but often found them sour This bottle really shows off the deliciousness of the cab franc that is allowed to come through without manipulation and with careful tending. Delicious! — 10 months ago

Pale to mid Ruby. A sooty earthy savoury red fruited note with raspberry and new leather. The palate is reserved yet with M+ intensity. Delicate yet assertive. Still very fresh for its age. Elegant with enough palate weight to make it totally enjoyable. Benjamin Leroux was the winemaker who has gone on to more accolades with his own label. Jasper Morris thought that this was the best wine made by Benjamin Leroux during his 14 year tenure at Domaine du Comte Armand. Would go on for several more years if you were lucky enough to be holding some. Pommard is another commune which has no Grand Crus but this must be one of the best Premier Crus. I concur with Jasper Morris MW when he had a bottle of this very wine with friends when he said “we were very sad to finish the bottle “. My son Hugh bought this wine for me from Sotheby’s NY in December 2013 and brought it home in his luggage for Christmas that year and I am so glad he did. This is one of the 1001 Wines. — 8 months ago

Medium deep ruby, quite bright and intense , thin ruby rim . Quite deep and spicy on the nose , with a touch of oak and dark cherry , quite a lot of summer fruits also , flowers and an earthy , herbal tinge, which becomes more prominent with time . On the palate this is very suave and detailed , very polished , lots of sweet dark cherry , some blackberry and spiced raspberry too. Earthy , mineral twist on the finish . Polished tannins and well judged acidity , even at 14o alcohol there is no heat , only roundness . Balanced acidity and long , sappy finish , mixed with summer fruits, floral with a lightly toasty hint . Very young , fruit dominated but enjoyable none the less , a great life ahead . This really improves with air becomes more mineral and earthy , showing more backbone and tannin , but always remaining complete and balanced . Come back in 5 years or so , will drink well a further 5-10. Very promising, and a great experience. — 5 months ago
