"The 2001 Clos St. Jacques from Jean-Marie Fourrier is a stellar example of the vintage. The outstanding nose leaps from the glass in a blaze of cherries, blood orange, cocoa, a touch of grilled meat, mustard seed, roses and a stunning expression of minerality. On the palate the wine is pure, fullish and very, very intensely flavored, with a sappy core, stunning transparency, modest tannins, excellent acids and laser-like focus on the pure, complex and utterly refined finish. I would still try to keep my hands off of bottles of this great wine for a couple more years, as it is not done blossoming, but that is no easy task, as this wine is flat out delicious today. This is my kind of red Burgundy!"
