Bruno Clair, Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques Vintage:2021 camphor and incense(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.
