93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "As I mentioned in the introductory section, the Lavaux St. Jacques was still in cask at the time of my visit. The 2017 version chez Harmand will be raised in forty percent new oak this year and the wine was singing in early November, offering up a deep and complex bouquet of sweet dark berries, black cherries, espresso, complex, black minerality, roasted meats and a nice touch of spicy oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very pure on the attack, with a sappy core of black fruit, outstanding mineral drive, ripe, seamless tannins and a very long, poised and classy finish. This is excellent. 2025-2065+. (Nov/Dec 2018)"
92 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Produced from six different parcels, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques exhibits aromas of smoky wild berries, peonies, grilled meats and rich forest floor. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and supple, with good depth and volume, concluding with a sapid finish. Drink: 2022-2040. (Feb 2020)"
92 points and 'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .69 ha parcel of 40+ year old vines). Deft wood influence frames brooding and reticent aromas of various dark berries, humus-suffused forest floor and herbal tea. There is solid density and evident power and minerality to the medium weight flavors that deliver very good length on the robust, compact, focused and youthfully austere finish. This is a classically styled LSJ and will require at least some forbearance. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2020)"
