Description
The 2019 Premeier Cru Lavaux is full of plum, smoky berry fruit, forest floor and peonies aromas. This Faiveley Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques with a medium to full-bodied, layered and lively wine built around juicy acids and youthful chalky tannins. The wine has an astonishing concentration, very fine tannins and wonderful freshness in the long, intensely mineral aftertaste. This is (even) a bit more refined and accurate than its richer 2018 counterpart

January 2021 Week 2, The Wine Advocate
Aromas of plums, smoky berry fruit, forest floor and peonies preface the 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques, a medium to full-bodied, layered and lively wine built around succulent acids and youthfully chalky tannins. This is a touch finer-boned and more precise than its richer 2018 counterpart.
Jérôme Flous told me that Faiveley began picking on September 9, finishing by the 20th, and that yields averaged out at around 35 hectoliters per hectare in white and a little less in red. Comparing the 2019 vintage to "a more concentrated version of 2010," he admires—as I do—its vibrant fruit tones and refined tannins, finding it more elegant than 2018. The quality of the red wines chez Faiveley is old news, and for more information on this firm's evolution I direct readers to my report published in the August 2020 Week 1 issue of The Wine Advocate. It's worth underlining, however, how good the whites are these days: Flous tells me that he now includes fûts from Damy and Chassin in the white wine barrel program, and in the last few vintages, I've found the wines' new oak component better and better integrated.
