The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques is a superb example of this revered terroir in a classic vintage. The bouquet is vibrant and perfumed, with aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, and wild cherry layered with violets, rose petal, and subtle spice. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied yet concentrated, framed by fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that lend precision and lift. Mineral undertones and hints of earth and forest floor add depth, while a long, elegant finish underscores its potential for cellaring. The 2016 vintage, marked by purity and balance, makes this a wine of both immediate charm and long-term promise, capable of evolving gracefully for 15–20 years.

Domaine René LeClerc, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, is a family-run estate known for its traditional, terroir-driven approach to Burgundy. With vineyard holdings in several of Gevrey’s finest sites, the domaine crafts wines that balance authenticity, typicity, and long-term ageability. René LeClerc’s philosophy emphasizes careful vineyard work, minimal intervention, and respect for the unique character of each cru. Among their prized vineyards, Lavaux Saint-Jacques stands out as one of the most celebrated Premier Crus in Gevrey, lying just beneath the Grand Cru Clos Saint-Jacques. Its rocky limestone soils and cooler microclimate produce wines that combine structure and minerality with aromatic elegance, making it a true connoisseur’s site.
