Tasting notes
The 2013 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles St Jacques is more laconic on the nose compared to its sibling premier cru wines at the moment, but there is tangible minerality here that I think will be revealed with bottle age. It is not powerful, much more understated than say, the Petit Chapelle '13. The palate is smooth on the entry: supple tannin here exerting a gentle grip with an almost Vosne-like texture. It is just a little pinched on the finish, but hopefully it will gain more weight and flesh in bottle.

Light bright sweet fruit. A little simple – fermented cherry cough sweets? Dry finish. (JR)
About the producer
Louis Jadot is arguably the most consistent négociant house in Burgundy. It has managed to straddle both the entry-level and fine wine market, while retaining respect in both.
