This backward effort requires extensive swirling to reveal its restrained and spicy nose that mixes both red and dark currant, freshly turned earth and whisper of wood toast. There is exceptionally good richness and volume to the concentrated medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract that imparts a velvety mouthfeel as well as buffers the notably firm tannic spine shaping the muscular and youthfully austere finale. This intensely mineral-driven effort is clearly going to require time to soften the firm supporting tannins but also develop better depth. Lovely and a relatively understated CSJ. (Drink starting 2032).
Wine Enthusiast - Roger Voss
With its dense tannins and concentration, this wine is impressive both for aging and for its power. With bold structure the wine sustains the black fruits with verve. It will age well and will not be ready before 2025.
Wine Advocate - William Kelley
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) unfurls in the glass with an incipiently complex bouquet of sweet red berries, coffee roast, raw cocoa, candied peel and cedary new wood. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and layered, with an abundance of satiny structuring tannin, juicy acids and a long, pure finish. As usual, this will require some bottle age, but it's one of the high points of the collection.
