"Clair's 2007 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.-Jacques smells of ripe black
raspberry, black tea, cassis, iris, and rose petal. Persistent
inner-mouth florality sets off the richness of fruit on a palate of
finely-integrated tannin, the whole complimented by savory,
saliva-inducing salinity that lingers with admirable length for the
vintage. This is more charming if less dense than the corresponding
Cazetiers, but given the track record of this site and bottling over the
years, it would be hard for me to imagine less than a decade's worth of
delightful drinkability. 92/100.
Bruno Clair and Philippe Brun report
that they had to warm their cellar to encourage the primary
fermentations of their 2008s, and their 2009s were already into malo
before the 2008s finished. In consequence, even their Marsannays from
the latter vintage had only been assembled the day I visited them in
February. (Other wines were recently assembled or still in barrel, as
noted in the text, and most were destined for May bottling.) The 2008
harvest here did not commence until the beginning of October. "You had
mature sugars," says Clair echoing a frequent refrain, "but not mature
skins or pips." Quantities were almost shockingly small this year, the
Gevrey Crus ranging between 20-25 hectoliters per hectare, and there is
certainly no lack of structure in what for now present themselves as a
somewhat severely concentration collection." - eRobertParker.com
"Drogi, ale znakomity, niezwykle zasłużony producent. Do roku 2003 dla amatorów win bogatych, barokowych, lecz i tu nastąpił ostatnio zwrot ku winom bardziej finezyjnym. Obecnie ścisła czołówka burgundzka" - Wina Europy 2009
