Gevrey Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques 1er Cru 2010

This was strongly reduced and thus it's frankly difficult to say beyond advising you to aggressively aerate the wine if you're going to try it young. The flavor profile is distinctly cool, indeed it's the coolest and most restrained of any of the Dugat 2010s with an intensity of minerality that is the hallmark of a fine Lavaut. I particularly like the superb cut and punch of the balanced, focused and impressively persistent finish. Note that my score obviously offers the benefit of the doubt in the sense that it assumes that the reduction is not permanent.

Score: 91
