The 2021 Domaine Confuron-Cotetidot Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Lavaut Saint-Jacques is an exceptional Premier Cru Burgundy crafted from Pinot Noir grown in one of Gevrey-Chambertin's most revered vineyard sites. Produced from old vines using traditional winemaking, it showcases remarkable depth, finesse and the distinctive limestone-driven character of the Côte de Nuits. The nose is intensely aromatic, revealing aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry and blackberry, complemented by notes of violet, forest floor, sweet spice and finely integrated French oak.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky, fine-grained tannins, vibrant natural acidity and a beautifully layered texture, delivering flavours of black cherry, plum and redcurrant alongside hints of cedar, truffle, graphite and striking mineral complexity. The finish is long, refined and beautifully balanced, combining concentration with exceptional elegance and outstanding ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Premier Cru Gevrey-Chambertin for lovers of fine Burgundy seeking structure, elegance and authentic Côte de Nuits character. Enjoy after a gentle decant or cellar confidently over the next 12–18 years. Ideal with roast duck, venison, beef Wellington, mushroom dishes or mature Comté and Époisses cheese.
