Domaine Henri Magnien – Lavaux Saint-Jacques 2017 – Gevrey-Chambertin, 1er Cru

The nose is elegant, aromatic and offers a small generosity. It reveals notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy/juicy blackberry and small notes of small berries associated with fine touches of liquorice, cornflower/blueberry, gray pepper as well as a very discreet hint of nutmeg (in the background). The palate is fruity, well-balanced, precise and offers a good definition, a beautiful mineral frame, suavity, straightness, a small aerial side, a fine tension, finesse as well as a good finesse of the grain. On the palate this wine expresses notes of fleshy cherry, fleshy/juicy blackberry and small notes of fleshy/juicy plum associated with fine touches of fleshy/juicy blueberry, hints of liquorice/zan, Ceylan tea as well as discreet hints of cardamom and a very discreet hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are well-built. Good length.
