2012 Domaine Tortochot Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques Premier Cru

The 2012 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St Jacques is the only cru that underwent some chaptalization this year – a modest 0.5 degrees alcohol. It has an elegant bouquet with dark plum and redcurrant scents, freshly tilled soil and woodland surfacing with aeration. The palate has a sweet entry and a pleasant, slightly grainy texture...this is a thoroughly fine Gevrey premier cru.
