Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru « Lavaux-Saint-Jacques » – Domaine Gérard Seguin

The Lavaux-Saint-Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2023 from Domaine Gérard Seguin comes from one of the best-known lieux-dits of Gevrey-Chambertin: a deeply coloured, rich and long red from 80 to 90-year-old vines.

Domaine Gérard Seguin

Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Gérard Seguin follows a traditional approach to winemaking: hand harvesting, cold maceration, fermentation with native yeasts and ageing on the lees in barrel. Part of its vines were planted in 1950 by Pierre Seguin.

The wine: Lavaux-Saint-Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru

The vineyard faces south and south-east, set on rock with about twenty centimetres of stones and clay soil, right next to the Combe de Lavaux. The microclimate is very special: very hot by day, cold at night. The vines, 80 to 90 years old, are often picked last because the grapes take longer to ripen; the plot covers 17.86 ares.

Hand harvesting, cold maceration, fermentation with native yeasts, a vatting of about 15 days, then 12 to 18 months of ageing on the lees in barrel, 50% of them new Tronçais oak.

Tasting notes

A deeply coloured wine of great aromatic richness, powerful without too much structure, with a long finish where elegance and fruit come through.

Food pairing and ageing

It goes very well with game and local cheeses. It improves for around ten years, even more in great vintages.
