This is a wonderfully dense, layered expression of the terroir with flavours of liquorice, plum, black cherry and strawberry, granular tannins and laser-like focus and precision. Drinking window 2025-2032. (TA)

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a finely chiseled, precise bouquet with perfumed red cherry and crushed strawberry scents loaded with minerals. This is one of the most transparent Clos Saint-Jacques that I have tasted from Fourrier. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy ripe tannins on the entry. This is very focused, maybe a little leaner than the 2015 (recently tasted) but with a scintillating finish of white pepper-tinged red fruit that lingers in the mouth for 45 seconds. Superb. [Readers should note that this may include part of the cuvée currently being matured in amphora. Trials will begin in early 2019 to assess whether that will be done - Jean-Marie Fourrier seemed 50/50 at the time of my visit.] (NM)

Fourrier's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with scents of dark berries, cherries, black truffles, forest floor and peonies, framed by a discreet touch of new wood. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep and succulent, with fine concentration, exquisitely refined tannins and a long, sapid finish. (WK)

The 2017 Clos St. Jacques was also still a bit grumpy about being tasted, but all of the pieces are in place here for a great wine down the road. The bouquet was spot on at the time of my visit and truly beautiful, offering up scents of sappy red and black cherries, a brambly touch of black raspberry, grilled meats, dark soil tones, woodsmoke, a lovely spice element and spicy oak. On the palate the wine is more closed than any of the other premier crus in the cellar today, with excellent mid-palate depth, ripe, well-integrated tannins and impressive length and grip on the still very primary finish. I am sure this will be a great wine. 2028-2065+.

Notes

95-97 points Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy: "From 0.89ha planted in 1910. Beautiful, concentrated mid red purple. There is a concentrated and complex nose, and if it seems less pure than some of the other 1ers crus that may be because there are more different strands to it. The core of the wine is a huge depth of dark fruit with some freshening red notes interweaved. No more than medium acidity and the tannins are entirely integrated. Tasted: December 2018."
