St Jacques
2002
inquire
"Loads of spices are intermingled with red cherries and hints of
vanilla in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux
St.-Jacques. This graceful, beautiful wine is packed with gorgeous
layers of black cherries, flowers, cinnamon, and hints of toasted oak.
Its prolonged finish displays additional waves of fruit as well as
copious quantities of ripe tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2013. " 93-95 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #153

Gevrey Chambertin
2002 inquire
"The graphite and black fruit-scented 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin coats the palate
with flavors reminiscent of black cherries, blackberries, and lead pencils.
Medium-bodied and structured, it is a candidate for drinking between 2006 and
2012." 90-91 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #153
2001 $59.99
2000
$58.99
"Deep, bright ruby-red. Sexy
fruit aromas of blueberry and black raspberry, with complicating hints of violet
and gibier Sweet, full and deep, with sappy dark fruit and espresso flavors. The
fine, dusty tannins arrive late, giving the rich fruit a chance to expand on the
finish. Superb village wine."
90 Steve Tanzer, International
Wine Cellar 3/4-03
1999 inquire
"Full medium ruby. Vibrant, floral aromas of
cassis, bitter cherry, dark chocolate and violet. Very intensely flavored and
dense for village wine, with complex dark berry, spice and game flavors. This
offers terrific structure and class." 91 Steve Tanzer, International
Wine cellar 3/4-02
"The medium to dark ruby-colored 1999 Gevrey-Chambertin
reveals lovely red cherry, sweet oak aromas. This pure, lush, medium-bodied wine
is velvety-textured and filled with violets and candied cherries. It is plush,
opulent, and reveals sweet, supple tannins in its fresh, long finish. Drink it
over the next 5-6 years." 90 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #136
1998 $61.99
"Bright medium ruby. Aromas of kirsch, cassis, bitter
chocolate and mint, along with a mineral lift. Juicy, intensely flavored and
still rather youthfully closed in on itself. Very fresh and penetrating for
village wine. Finishes subtle and impressively long.Steve Tanzer,
International Wine Cellar 3/4-01
1997 $74.99
"Very fresh, deep ruby-red. Sappy, perfumed aroma of
crystallized black cherry. Explosively aromatic and liqueur-like in the mouth,
with flavors of roasted black cherry and roast coffee. Fat, thick and extremely
deep for a village wine. Wonderful extract and harmonious acids. Finishes with
lush tannins and terrific persistence.
1996 $72.99
"Good healthy ruby color. Sappy aromas of cherry,
raspberry, smoke and licorice, plus a faint sauvage note that may simply be due
to sheer concentration. Chewy, penetrating and vibrant, with the structure and
thrust of the vintage. Lively, aromatic inner mouth fruit flavors complicated by
smoke and roasted nuts. Finishes firmly tannic but with very strong balancing
fruit.Steve
Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 3/4-99
"This wine has a deep ruby/purple color and displays a
mouth-watering nose of lush red and black cherries that gives way to an
awesomely supple, concentrated, extremely rich, and broad character. This satiny
wine is loaded with deeply ripe and sedctive cherries that linger in its
impressively soft finish. Anticipated maturity: now-2004. What remains to be
said about this wine crafted by the shy, self-effacing, and ever-smiling Claude
Dugat? Well, it might be getting even better. Perhaps Jean-Marc Joblot, the
extremely talented Givry producer, said it best: "Claude Dugat's 1996s are
the most beautiful expression of Pinot Noir I've ever had." A taster would
have to be dead not to fall in love with these wines." Robert Parker, The
Wine Advocate #118
