Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vintage:2001 I really like the amount

I really like the amount of dry extract here as it relegates the still firm tannins to the background and this should age effortlessly for years to come

its made from a single vineyard planted in the Santa Cruz Mountains at 730m above sea level and just 15 miles from the Pacific ocean

This is also relatively tightly wound and will need at least a few years to develop better depth but in time

earth and distinctly sauvage aromas

Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vintage:2001 I really like the amount(from a 1 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). An exceptionally spicy and floral inflected nose adds breadth in the form of both red and dark pinot fruit. The racy, detailed and mineral driven middle weight plus flavors possess fine mid palate density while the beautifully detailed and persistent if youthfully austere finish is supported by very firm but fine tannins. Patience strongly advised.
