Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint Jacques Domaine Maume, 1999

Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1999 from Domaine Maume is a classic Burgundy from one of the appellation’s most admired premier cru sites. Made in a traditional style and now fully mature, it offers the depth, structure, and nuance that collectors look for in well-aged Gevrey-Chambertin.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a garnet to brick-tinged hue that reflects its age. The nose is likely to show layered aromas of dried cherry, forest floor, truffle, spice, and subtle earthy notes, with the kind of savoury complexity that only develops over time. On the palate, the wine should be medium-bodied and finely textured, with mature red fruit, undergrowth, mineral detail, and refined tannins still providing shape. Lavaux Saint-Jacques is known for combining elegance with impressive structure, so this bottle should retain balance and length even after more than two decades. It is at or near peak maturity now, though well-stored bottles may continue to hold for a few more years.

Production
Lavaux Saint-Jacques is one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s top premier cru vineyards, known for its cooler position and limestone-rich soils that tend to produce wines of perfume, precision, and ageworthy structure. Domaine Maume traditionally worked in a restrained, terroir-driven manner, allowing the vineyard character to remain front and center. The 1999 vintage in Burgundy was generally generous and ripe, giving wines with both concentration and the potential for graceful evolution.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that mirror its earthy, savoury character, such as roast duck, game birds, beef tenderloin, coq au vin, or mushroom-based dishes. Serve at around 16–18°C, and if the bottle has been stored for a long time, open it gently and consider a short decant only if needed to remove sediment or let the wine gradually unfold.

Producer
Domaine Maume was a respected Gevrey-Chambertin estate known for producing traditional, small-production Burgundies with a strong sense of place. The domaine built its reputation on classic winemaking and holdings in some of the village’s most sought-after vineyards, helping cement its standing among Burgundy enthusiasts. Its wines are now especially appreciated by collectors for their authenticity, depth, and ageing potential.
