Tasting notes
70-year-old vines. Mid crimson and a step up from the Champeaux. Richer, darker fruited, almost peppery, but still with a delicate and sinewy refinement in the texture. Dry, chalky tannins lead to a lingering finish but I could have wished for a little more depth on the mid palate. Elegant and long. Needs time to gain complexity even though it is almost approachable now. (JH)

The 2022 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles St Jacques is pure and ethereal, bursting with aromas of red berries, potpourri, spices and orange rind. Medium to full-bodied, bright and satiny, with melting tannins and a mineral finish, this hillside climat has produced one of the most elegant wines in the range.
