Louis Jadot Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques Premier Cru 2018 750ml

An elegant, full-bodied wine of deep color with aromas and flavors of black currants and other black and red berries as well as the tannic structure to age well. It will develop for 15 to 20 years in the bottle.

Serve with sophisticated dishes such as game and sauced meats.

Dense and muscle bound, this red isn't revealing much other than toasty, spiced oak and buried black cherry and mineral flavors lurking in the background. Though difficult to see where this is going, it lingers on the finish with sinewy tannins. Best from 2025 through 2047.

Opening in the glass with notes of cherries, red berries, orange rind, peonies and vanilla pod, the 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) is medium to full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, with velvety tannins and a vibrant, lively core of fruit that reflects its high-altitude origins as much as the undeniable maturity achieved this vintage. It's a fine success that will reward some bottle age.
