94-96 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a wonderful bouquet that just pips the Cazetiers for precision and poise. This is detailed and very finely tuned, the oak married perfectly with the fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and very well-judged acidity, almost sorbet-fresh. The vivacious blood-orange-infused finish seems to shimmer. This is a great Clos Saint-Jacques from Louis Jadot. Drink: 2024-2050. (Jan 2020)"

95 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$230 list] Complex and suave, this red is powerful and features cherry, raspberry, plum and spice flavors. The oak leaves it a little rigid on the finish today, yet this remains balanced, long and expansive on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2045. 120 cases imported. (5/31/21)"
95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "I continue to just love these 2018 Red Burgundies, and the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques doesn't disappoint, offering an incredibly pure, focused, yet concentrated style carrying ample bright berry fruits, spring flowers, spice, and graphite-like aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a terrific spine of acidity, ripe, yet ultra-fine tannins, and just about flawless balance. It shows the ripe style of the vintage yet is pure, fresh, and focused. Enjoy bottles any time over the coming 20 years or more. Drink: 2021-2041. (4/30/21)"
95 points and 'Top 100 Cellar Selections 2020,' Anne Krebiehl, MW Wine Enthusiast: "[$230 list] This wine opens with a subtle blend of black and Morello cherry on the nose, surrounded by slight smokiness. Ripeness is evident in the black cherry note and also manifests itself on the juicy but firm palate. A hint of chocolate and an edge of tar back the dark intensity of the fruit that is bedded in dense, ripe tannins. It's an elegant, full-bodied wine with gorgeous aroma and a promising future. Drink 2025–2040. Alcohol 13.5%. (Dec 2020)" 91-95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Rich dense purple. Quite high octane. Quince and mulberry. A rich sweet compote of dark fruit, blackberry, mulberry, blackcurrant, with the vineyard precision just showing underneath. Which way will this go? (Nov 2019)"
94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) has turned out very well indeed, unfurling in the glass with aromas of wild berries and plums, complemented by hints of peony, orange rind, warm spices and a classy patina of new oak. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and vibrant, it's impressively lively in this inherently rich vintage, with a succulent and enveloping core of fruit, beautifully refined tannins and a penetrating finish. Drink: 2025-2050. (Apr 2021)"
94 points James Suckling: "Lovely polish and finesse to this Gevrey with a very fine tannin texture and beautiful, subtle strawberry and raspberry character. It’s medium-bodied, fresh and focused. Drinkable now, but better after 2022. (11/5/20)"
