Note di degustazione
Bright medium red. Floral perfume of great delicacy. Boasts a wonderfully refined texture but also terrific pungent floral and mineral lift to the intense red berry flavors. Conveys a very strong impression of savory acidity but Barnier insists that the technical numbers are similar to those of the Lavaux and Clos Saint-Jacques. Finishes brisk and palate-staining, with high-toned cranberry and raspberry fruit. I could drink a bottle of this! Barnier noted that this cool combe -influenced vineyard on very shallow soil included a lot of white vines when Jadot bought it from Clair-Daü in 1985 but that Jadot has replaced "most of them." But the site has always produced "a naturally floral style and paler-colored wine," Barnier added. In some past warm vintages that benefited from full ripeness, this wine has outperformed Jadot's Clos Saint-Jacques on my scorecard, at least in the early going, but in 2015 the latter wine is even more stunning.

The 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint-Jacques was showing a bit of reduction on the nose when I tasted the barrel sample. The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin, well-judged acidity, a slight candied orange peel note towards the finish that fans out with confidence. This is an excellent premier cru like the Lavaux Saint-Jacques, although it should be afforded 4-6 years in bottle.

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.
