The 1983 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru reflects four decades of slow, graceful evolution. The nose now shows tertiary complexity, with aromas of dried cherry, fig, forest floor, truffle, leather, and sous-bois, accented by subtle spice and smoke. On the palate, the fruit has mellowed into a delicate core of dried red berries, lifted by earthy and mineral nuances. The tannins have softened into a fine, silky texture, while the acidity keeps the wine lively despite its age. The finish is long and savory, marked by umami notes of mushroom, herbs, and wet stone. A rare and fascinating example of mature Burgundy, this 1983 bottle offers a glimpse into both the endurance of the terroir and the traditional craftsmanship of René LeClerc.

Domaine René LeClerc, based in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, has long been admired for its traditional approach and commitment to terroir. With family roots deeply embedded in Burgundy, the domaine is recognized for crafting wines of authenticity and ageworthiness, emphasizing minimal intervention and a style that allows the vineyard to speak. Among its holdings, Lavaux Saint-Jacques is one of the crown jewels of Gevrey’s Premier Crus. Situated in a cool, limestone-rich combe that channels air and moisture from the hills, this site yields wines that are refined yet structured, often considered among the most “grand cru–like” of Gevrey’s Premier Crus.
