Tasting notes
The 2014 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles St Jacques has a winsome bouquet with layers of macerated small red cherries, fresh strawberry and vanilla scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is fleshy and ripe on the entry, forward and dense with the oak perhaps more conspicuous on the finish than the 2014 Cazetiers. It is trying to make an impression but it needs to show more restraint and composure once in bottle.

Mid to light cherry red. Red fruited though not especially aromatic. Gentle and really quite soft on the palate. Lacks oomph and a bit lean on the finish. (JH)
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.
