"The dark ruby-colored 1997 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques displays a nose reminiscent of a compote of black fruits and fresh herbs. It explodes on the palate with plummy fruit, a satin texture, and an ample body. Luscious and rich, it verges on being over-ripe, yet has a flattering streak of freshness to its personality."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
