January 26, 2024 - Blind. Serious, serious wine. Some greengage and caramel hints to the nose. Good poise and fabulous acidity. Feels of Grand Cru quality. With air some subtle mintiness and some subtle citrus lift. After half an hour there's some Morello cherry and raspberry fruit. A real mineral backbone too. Just goes on and on with the final few sips revealing a charming gaminess that reminds me of pheasant sausage.

December 7, 2023 - Ripe and exotic with moderate acidity, and it is truthful to the vintage. Drink up. 90-91

June 9, 2023 - Wonderful bottle immediately coming out and showing cards . Maybe not the sexiest Rousseau or vintage, but this was a great showing besting other bottles on the night. Well balanced with nuance, secondary fruit, and emotion. Right bottle right time.

February 12, 2022 - Pop n pour at casual dinner. Deep dark color. Ripe dark cherries on the nose with a lot of spiciness. Soft, velvety, rich on the palate. Lacked energy, but certainly very enjoyable for the occasion.

October 20, 2019 - Ouvert environ 5-6h avant. Nez puissant sur les fruits noirs. Même chose en bouche. C'est magnifique mais le vin est riche, dense avec une dimension sucrée prononcée qui me fait penser à du pinot hors-bourgogne. Tout s'explique au dévoilement. Un 2003 ! Certainement pas un Clos de la Roche typique mais très très bon et tient bien tête au Richebourg 2001. 93pts
