Aromatically, the ruby-colored, medium-bodied 2001 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques is a deep, structured wine. Lush and expansive, it slathers the palate with powerful black cherry fruit. This spicy, muscular offering reveals a firm, yet ripe character. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2010. Bruno Clair, one of the only vignerons to own vines from Savigny-Les-Beaune in the south to Marsannay in the north, said “2001 was a nice year for the Cote de Nuits but a difficult one in the Cote de Beaune, a true vigneron vintage where conscientious vineyard work was essential. Once the harvest began, it was a race against botrytis.” Importer: Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL; tel. (205) 980-8802
