Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vintage:2021 As good as the prior

As good as the prior grands crus are

gentle grip with a persistent tarry finish that suggests that it needs more bottle age

An impressively complex nose offers up aromas of rose petals

it gives up exotic scents of smoke

all supported by firm and even borderline rustic tannins that contrast considerably with the sleek mid-palate texture

Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vintage:2021 As good as the prior(from a 1 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). An exceptionally spicy and floral inflected nose adds breadth in the form of both red and dark pinot fruit. The racy, detailed and mineral driven middle weight plus flavors possess fine mid palate density while the beautifully detailed and persistent if youthfully austere finish is supported by very firm but fine tannins. Patience strongly advised.
