Gevrey Chambertin Estournelles St Jacques, Henri Magnien 2020

Tasting Notes

Rich purple. This is rather powerful and even chunky which is a surprise for this vineyard. Fruit lightens up at the back of the palate, tannins are evident. Though Estournelles is suffering some dieback for rootstock reasons, the crop is saved by the presence of springs and cool winds. Charles now picks later to avoid too strict a structure. Cherries coming up at the finish. Interesting, not quite in place yet.
