The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru contains 60% whole bunches and 50% new oak this year. There is a touch of reduction on the nose at the moment, rendering the aromatics challenging to read. The palate has a smooth entry with dark chocolate and light cumin notes filtering through the black fruit. The oak is a little prominent on the finish, as it usually is at this nascent juncture. Therefore, it will require several years in bottle to completely knit together.
