| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.4 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by burgconvert on 10/12/2023 & rated 91 points: Somewhat blinded right (but wrong vintage) at a tasting where you knew there was a Rousseau and a Cathiard among 14. Was my favorite among a plethora of young and natty Volnay, NSGs, Pommards etc.
Evident quality of winemaking with purity of fruit (clean cherry and strawberry) that is subtle and no imparted "signature". Not ripe for a 2018 surprisingly. Should have some life ahead of it. Palate is slightly simple for the price, but it is a village after all. Didn't seem like there was any whole cluster to it, which in this case was a good thing.
Nose: 92
Palate: 90-91 (1121 views) | | | Tasted by ThijsV on 6/15/2023 & rated 93 points: Annual wine trip; Bourgogne & Champage with Bas; 6/14/2023-6/18/2023 (France): [Restaurant purchase] At Ma Cuisine in Beaune. Medium intensity on the nose with strawberry, red cherry, red currant, roses, blueberry, baking spices, vanilla, hint of barnyard, earthy, Medium+ acidity, medium tannins, long finish. With a bit more air getting velvety (1514 views) | | | Tasted by bjbu on 6/15/2023 & rated 93 points: Burgundy trip 2023; 6/14/2023-6/18/2023: Intensity medium. Roses, strawberry, red cherry, red currant, blueberry, baking spices, vanilla, hint of barnyard, earthy, Acidity medium(+), tannins medium, long finish.
(Ma Cuisine, Beaune) (1394 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 5/17/2023: My second time with this wine. While still way too young, this is more open and approachable compared to a couple of years ago. It’s a dark wine both in terms of color and fruit, but the fruit is generous and spicy and there’s good freshness here. Serious wine, and if I had it in my own cellar I would give it another 5 years at least. (1309 views) | | | Tasted by Vinvidz on 5/1/2023 & rated 93 points: Opened 1 hour in bottle. Riedel burg glass. Medium bright red colour. Classic Rousseau nose of aromatic red fruit. Palate is ripe rich red fruit with a superb balance of fine tannin and medium + acidity. This is not a simple wine as the underlying Gevrey structure is very present, providing some complexity.so delicious. Wanted to order a second bottle but the restaurant ran out. (1310 views) | | | Tasted by lorenzodemonye on 3/6/2023 & rated 92 points: Underperforms (512 views) | | | Tasted by Peter Spijker on 9/28/2022 & rated 93 points: My first time drinking Rousseau, drank at d'Oude Schuur. Although I wasn't sober at all, this was a fantastic wine. Crunchy and tart dark cherry and raspberry, some hints of herbs and earthyness, quite powerful and concentrated, elegant use of oak. Lovely stuff that can (and should be) aged for a while longer (1649 views) | | | Tasted by rralls on 3/8/2022 & rated 92 points: Out of 375. Fantastic village wine. (1826 views) | | | Tasted by glou.sf on 12/30/2021 & rated 93 points: Lovely nose of red cherries and berries. The flavors are quite tart and all fruit at this stage. Good acidity and structure with more tart fruit notes on the palate along with white pepper notes. Nice finish. Lovely AC wine and less ripe / more tart than I would have expected from 2018. 92-93+ (2040 views) | | | Tasted by lightning on 12/12/2021 & rated 91 points: What an alluring and sensual nose. Ripe raspberries, blue flowers and Pez candy; medium to medium-plus bodied, mouth-filling with a fine burr of tannins, ripe raspberry and earth, a smidge of dried herb on the finish, and a lick of acidity on the sides of the tongue to frame it all. Very good for the appellation (if not the price nowadays, sadly). From a half bottle. (1831 views) | | | Tasted by CamWheeler on 10/20/2021 & rated 88 points: SLDS October 2021: Stalk, earth, some meaty funk as well. Tense and tight on the palate, not showing much right at the moment. Has a hardness to it that doesn't let it be approached, I guess give it time to see what happens? (1600 views) | | | Tasted by pbaek on 8/20/2021: Quite dark in color. Floral nose, dark berries, chalk. Very good structure here, this is soil-driven, with dark cherry fruit at its heart. Muscular, a hint of tannins, spicy as well - but this wine is asking you to wait. So wait. (1890 views) | | | Tasted by WEB,III on 12/20/2020 & rated 91 points: Barrel Sample: Rich fruit. Richest Gevrey Village I have ever tasted chez Rousseau. Still has great freshness, but heavier, not as elegant, as Rousseau generally is. (2088 views) |

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
