95 points La Revue du Vin de France: "The finesse of Lavaux Saint-Jacques is haunting: invigorating fruit, fresh tension and mineral sparkle shine through on a superb finish. (2022)"
92-95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "Ripe dense purple, with a brilliant heady deep raspberry nose that is approaching 14%, which does not show I any negative sense. Sweet cherry backed by a little oak, gracious and easy-going. (Oct 2020)"
92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has wonderful transparency on the nose of red currant and wild strawberry, plus glimpses of orange blossom and rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, lightly spiced and quite peppery in the mouth. Fine grip and length. This is a lovely Lavaux that will be difficult to resist in its youth. Drink: 2023-2038. (Dec 2020)"
91-93 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is promising, mingling aromas of cassis and smoky berries with hints of loamy oil, raw cocoa and potpourri. Medium-bodied, bright and lively, with a succulent core of fruit framed by ultra-refined tannins, it concludes with a long, perfumed finish. This is the highest-alcohol wine in the cellar in 2019, but that certainly didn't stand out in the glass. (Jan 2021)"
90-93 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .76 ha parcel). Moderate reduction dominates the underlying fruit today. Otherwise there is very good volume and intensity to the tautly muscular and serious medium-bodied flavors that brim with minerality while exhibiting excellent depth and persistence on the well-balanced and mildly austere finale. This is firm but not as firm as it usually is though with that said, it will still need 10 to 12 years of cellaring. Drink: 2029+. (Jan 2021)"
