This wine is nuanced, deep and wonderfully long. It’s a wonderful vineyard perched in the middle of the Combe de Lavaux - the cooler south-east facing hillside in Gevrey’s northern sector, right next to one of the finest of all premiers crus, Clos St Jacques.

The 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin Estournelles Saint-Jacques 1er Cru was more backward and introverted compared to the Lavaux Saint-Jacques on the day of my visit. The palate is more expressive with plenty of saturated red berry fruit, sea salt, touches of graphite and white pepper - one of Duroché’s spiciest offerings with touches of liquorice on the aftertaste. Excellent.
