Tasting notes
Deep and serious, the 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint-Jacques unwinds from the glass with aromas of dark berries, baking chocolate, Indian spices and smoked duck. Medium to full-bodied, sapid and seamless, it's rich and concentrated, with powdery tannins and a long, lively finish.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was more backward and introverted compared to the Lavaux Saint-Jacques on the day of my visit. The palate is more expressive with plenty of saturated red berry fruit, sea salt, touches of graphite and white pepper - one of Duroché’s spiciest offerings with touches of liquorice on the aftertaste. Excellent.
About the producer
Domaine Duroché has, under Pierre Duroché, become one of the most sought-out and respected wine domaines in Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are delicate and detailed, yet with old-vine intensity, a clear sense of place and style – and it’s easy to see why they’ve rapidly become so in-demand.
