Albert Bichot Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru 2017
Red
Gevrey-Chambertin, France
6.8
WineSaint
Muted red fruit and strawberry lack the vibrancy this premier cru site deserves. The palate shows decent weight but suffers from a distracting metallic note that mars the mid-palate flow. Tannins are approachable, yet the wine finishes short without the complexity or persistence expected from Lavaux Saint-Jacques.
