Lavaux St-Jacques is often called the “unofficial Grand Cru” of Gevrey—and in the hands of Domaine Denis Mortet, it absolutely earns the title. Perched on a cooler, stony slope with exceptional drainage, it produces wines of serious depth and finesse, and 2022 brought just enough ripeness to match its natural energy.

This cuvée is classic Mortet: densely fruited but laser-focused, with layers of black cherry, crushed violets, spice box, and wet stone. The oak is there, but perfectly integrated, adding polish without masking the terroir. Tannins are firm but silk-lined, and the finish fans out slowly with precision and poise.

Whether you’re cellaring or showing off, this is one of the great names and great sites of the Côte de Nuits, captured in a vintage that walks the line between generosity and tension. A modern classic in the making.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru includes one-third whole bunches and one-third new oak. Again, this is elegant and pure on the nose, beautifully defined with a Rousseau-like personality. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, very expressive yet understated. This doesn't need to boast. It has an effortless quality, fanning out wonderfully towards the finish. An outstanding Lavaux Saint-Jacques." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 93

"The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques exhibits notes of cherries, strawberry conserve, rose petals and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and succulent palate that's sweet and demonstrative, with what would appear to be a rather ripe, forward style this year." -William Kelley

Decanter

D 95

"This wine's enchanting blackberry and violet aromas invite the discovery of the rewarding substance and depth of this fine example of Lavaux Saint-Jacques from Domaine Denis Mortet. The texture is dense and lively, and the finish lingers invitingly. The domaine farms a parcel of 1.2 hectares of sixty-year-old vines, whose grapes are partially destemmed and carefully fermented on native yeast before ageing over two winters in a cask. It would be best to wait at least three years before drinking, and this wine should continue to improve for 10 to 15 more years after this."

Focus On: Burgundy

Burgundy has long been the world's most famous wine region. But, underneath all the prestige, this region can be hard to get to know.

While Burgundy offers many great trophies from top producers in well-known villages like Vosne Romanee and Puligny Montrachet, it also offers excellent values to anyone willing to explore beyond the famous names. Our collection– one of the largest in the U.S. – has plenty of both!

From the very basics of Burgundy's regions and wines to the specific terroirs of individual single vineyards--
everything you need to know about Bourgogne is just a click away!
