Vineyard Notes:

?

• Located on the C?te d'Or escarpment,?Clos Saint-Jacques boasts southeast-facing slopes and white marl soils similar to the Grand Cru Chambertin.

?

• The vineyard benefits from optimal sunlight exposure and a cooling wind that ensures perfect grape ripeness.

?

• A lack of moisture in the topsoil forces deep root systems,?resulting in concentrated,?high-quality berries.

?

• Clos Saint-Jacques is arguably Gevrey-Chambertin's most prestigious premier cru,?producing full-bodied red wines considered among the village's finest.

?

Producer Notes:

?

• The wines from this terroir are clear and balanced with strong, smooth tannins and a dominant aroma of blackcurrant and small black fruits. They have a particularly intense mouth-feel.
