The expansive nose of fresh black cherry and dry earth leads you into this very compact and concentrated Gevrey-Chambertin, which has the scale and gravitas of a Grand Cru, as well as massive tannin structure. This youthful form might be too much for some, but if you have a little patience, this is going to be a magnificent drinking experience. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

This small premier cru is at the very top of the slope, above Lavaux St-Jacques, and just that much further into the combe, making this a cool site. True to form, it retained a bright and fresh, high-toned red fruit quality, even in 2020, with an edge of rose petals and spice. The wine has tannic grip and the crisp acidity draws it to a lingering finish, even if it is a bit more reserved. With time this should be great. Jadot acquired 0.38ha of the site from its purchase of Domaine Clair-Daü in 1985. (Drink between 2025-2040)

(91-93 points) The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Estournelles Saint-Jacques (Domaine Louis Jadot) is very pretty, unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, dark berries, peonies and wintergreen. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tightly wound, with fine, chalky tannins and lively acids, it will require some bottle age. - WK
