Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Dec 20
The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a beguiling nose of vibrant red berries mixed with undergrowth and wilted rose petal aromas. It blossoms in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very lithe tannins and perfectly pitched acidity. Silky-smooth in texture, this fans out wonderfully on the finish and feels very persistent. Just a beautiful wine.
