Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy Description
Sourced from an estate parcel sized 0.69 ha of 40+ year old vines
Nestled in the heart of the Combe de Lavaux, “Lavaux Saint-Jacques” is one of the more famous and coveted sites in the appellation, and for good reason—it encompasses a panoply of seemingly at-odds characteristics with ease, and many consider it a grand cru in all but name. The Harmand family is fortunate to work three-quarters of a hectare here, with vines between 45 and 95 years of age. It shows mineral intensity, with spicy, black, fruit overlaying a gamy core. This brooding powerhouse needs time to reveal its inner layers, but an underlying sense of freshness promises a harmonious future.
Burghound: 91 Points
This is quite spicy and with more sauvage character on the ripe yet very fresh dark berry fruit, earth and forest floor-scented nose. The markedly intense and even more mineral-driven larger-bodied flavors flash evident power on the detailed, focused and sneaky long finish that is youthfully austere, compact and serious. This is very much a classic LSJ and should age accordingly, which is to say easily a decade plus.
