Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 2000 (750ml)

WS 90-93

The 2000 vintage in Burgundy was relatively warm and early-ripening. The red wines are known for being supple, open-knit, and approachable, with moderate acidity and ripe fruit. While not a blockbuster year, the wines have aged gracefully and show refined tertiary complexity today.

Tasting Notes (current drinking):

• Color: Garnet core with a slight brick rim, showing maturity

• Aromas: Dried cherry, raspberry, forest floor, leather, subtle spice, and a touch of smokiness

• Palate: Silky tannins, medium-bodied, well-balanced acidity, with layered flavors and a long, elegant finish

• Drinking Window: Fully mature — ideal to enjoy now, with several more years of life
