The 2012 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St Jacques from Fourrier is showing the most stems on the nose, but it is so full of character with supreme delineation. The aromatics clearly need three or four years to fully coalesce. The palate is divine: supremely fine tannin, perfectly judged acidity, utterly harmonious with not a hair out of place on the finish. There is so much sophistication here that it does not know what to do with itself. This is the Clos Saint Jacques that is leading the pack - a quite brilliant wine from Jean-Marie Fourrier.

The 2012 Clos St. Jacques chez Fourrier is a brilliantly elegant example of the vintage, offering up a pure and very classy bouquet of red plums, cherries, cocoa, a touch of nutskin, dark soil tones, woodsmoke and a dollop of vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and nascently complex, with bottomless depth, stunning transparency, fine-grained, buried tannins, bright acids and stunning length and grip on the very pure and velvety finish. A superb wine. 94+

Brilliantly pure, vibrant aromas of raspberry, rose petal, spices and crushed stone; here the terroir trumps the vintage character. Wonderfully silky on the palate but with a firm spine of acidity giving the flavors of red berries, flowers and crushed stone a youthfully clenched quality. Finishes with outstanding breadth and saline complexity, the noble tannins thoroughly coated by fruit. It will be a treat to try this wine next to the 2013 version a decade from now.

Scented and savoury – the most seductive and expressive of the three Clos St-Jacques I have tasted today but this is truly glorious. Not massive in construction but very linear and limpid. Crunchy very clean – clean as a mountain stream!
