Matured in 70% new oak and entirely destemmed, Mortet's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques hails from fully five distinct parcels that together amount to 1.2 hectares of this superior premier cru. Wafting from the glass with notes of ripe cherry, cassis, raspberry, dried flowers, grilled meats and rich soil, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with lovely energy and good depth and tension at the core despite its charming profile. Like many of the vintage's greatest successes, it will offer a broad drinking window.  - Rated 92-94 points by The Wine Advocate
