Here too the wood and menthol influences are anything but subtle though it detracts only mildly from the elegant, cool and admirably pure aromas of red and dark currant trimmed in a soft spice nuances. The equally round and succulent middle weight flavors are a bit less mineral-driven before culminating in a firm and serious finish that is shaped by relatively fine-grained tannins. This is a bit woody today but otherwise lovely.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has a slightly minty, generous bouquet compared to the Les Cazetiers, very pure in style and nicely defined. The palate is supple on the entry and smooth in texture, with a plump, caressing and quite detailed finish that is very classy. A little gem from Jadot. Drink 2021-2036
