Wine characteristics:

• Dress : THE Lavaux Saint-Jacques 2017 Presents a deep red dress, with purplish shades. Its intense color is a reflection of the concentration and complexity of this wine, while remaining brilliant and clear, indicating a precise and neat vinification.

• Nose : The nose is very complex and offers a rich aromatic palette. Aromas of ripe black fruit, such as black cherry, blackcurrant and blackberry, dominate. Then come subtle notes of liquorice, violet and pink, characteristics of the terroir of Gevrey-Chambertin. The breeding in oak barrels brings nuances of cocoa, vanilla and toasted wood, well integrated and not suffocating the purity of the fruits. Light touches of spices (pepper, cloves) and a note of undergrowth still add to the complexity of the whole.

This wine has an impressive but refined tannic structure, with fine and silky tannins that bring a velvety texture and a feeling of wealth. The flavors of black fruits extend, accompanied by spicy and wooded touches which blend perfectly into the mouth. The acidity is present, bringing freshness and balance, and supports a good length in the mouth. This wine is balanced and harmonious, with a finish marked by notes of black fruit and a slight return of minerality.

• Length : The finish is long and persistent, marked by a beautiful intensity of ripe black fruits, a hint of liquorice and a slight spicy touch. The minerality and freshness of the Lavaux Saint-Jacques terroir bring depth to the final, extending it pleasantly.
