93-95 points Fine Wine Review: "The Lavaux-Saint-Jacques has typical stony aromas. The mouth shows ripe dark fruits with minerality, power, and energy, but not the tension that I usually find here. 70% new oak, 'very little' whole cluster. (3/9/19)"
92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Matured in 70% new oak and entirely destemmed, Mortet's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques hails from fully five distinct parcels that together amount to 1.2 hectares of this superior premier cru. Wafting from the glass with notes of ripe cherry, cassis, raspberry, dried flowers, grilled meats and rich soil, the wine is medium to full-bodied, satiny and layered, with lovely energy and good depth and tension at the core despite its charming profile. Like many of the vintage's greatest successes, it will offer a broad drinking window. (Jan 2019)"
