94-96 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Deep centre to the crimson red colour, a much more concentrated nose here, with dark raspberry fruit. This year I have a clear preference for Clos St-Jacques over its neighbour, Cazetiers. There is a fine balance to the structure with well-integrated oak behind the very smooth supple and deep fruit. (Nov 2020)"
95 points Charles Curtis, MW (Decanter): "From a 1ha parcel just south of the Esmonin holding, these mature, low-yielding vines have resulted in a wine of monumental concentration. Paradoxically, the wine is approachable even on the initial attack, with a lovely red and black berry fruit expression that blossoms into a wine of impressive power and tannin on the palate. The structure carries this to a solid, elegant finish and suggests a bright future for ageing. Drinking Window: 2024-2039. (Oct 2020)"
93-95 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is very complex on the nose with mostly red fruit intermingling with crushed stone, black truffle and light cedar aromas. It feels very assured. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain but quite firm tannins, complex with fine acidity and hints of marmalade and clove tincturing the red fruit towards the finish. Superb - but will it surpass the 2018? Drink: 2025-2050. (Dec 2020)"
92-94 points/'Sweet spot/Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 1 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). Exceptionally pretty and markedly cool aromas waft from the glass to reveal attractively spicy notes of various dark berries, violet and soft sauvage nuances. There is both good volume and mid-palate density to the overtly mineral-driven middle weight flavors that culminate in a super-sleek, precise and wonderfully long finale. This is at once succulent but serious and should age effortlessly. Drink: 2034+. (Jan 2021)"
