The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint-Jacques unwinds in the glass, a touch of youthful reduction dissipating to reveal notes of sweet spices, wild berries, rose hips, orange and smoked meats. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and textural, it's rich and sapid, with lively acids and melting tannins. Concluding with a mineral finish, it will reward a bit of bottle age.
