2022 Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux st Jacques

Nestled in the heart of the Combe de Lavaux, Lavaux Saint Jacques is one of the most coveted sites in the appellation, and for good reason: it encompasses a range of seemingly at-odds characteristics with ease, and many consider it a grand cru in all but name. From their three quarters of a hectare of very old vines (between 45 and 95 years old) here, Harmand-Geoffroy produces a wine which matches the Champeaux in its mineral intensity, but with a blacker-fruited, gamier, more wildly spicy personality. 50% new oak.
