November 3, 2022 - Charleston VII; 11/2/2022-11/6/2022 (Charleston, SC (various locations)): Every time I have Rousseau I have a feeling that I could understand why people like their Burgundy so much (even if I am not keen on the price tag). He seems to have figured out the elegance and purity of fruit which is really compelling. A bit more woodsy and secondary but to be expected in an almost 30 year wine. Special to get to drink.

May 10, 2022 - The 93 Rousseau CSJ was not good. My friend opened 2 bottles and left one that was undrinkable at home. The 2nd one wasn’t much better. Just tired and over the hill. Bottle wasn’t heat damaged that we could tell. The 2nd bottle was drinkable, but just very little fruit and not a moving wine. 85 points

December 25, 2021 - The 1993 Rousseau Clos St Jacques shows a splendid nose of warm cherry, duck, a touch of warm earth but, like the 93 Chambertin, it’s on the plate that this positively explodes. A magnificent array of sweet and savory, fresh and umami unfolds, seeming to evolve minute by minute, akin to a melange of fresh cherry, cooked cherry, Muscovy duck, juniper, and cumin. The sapid yet weightless persistence is simply superb, dazzling. How often do you taste a really arresting wine? This is one of them. A hair behind the kingly Chambertin.

September 4, 2021 - Fully resolved with lifted dried flower aromatics. Quite clean, but not quite the precision and intensity of 1990 a few days ago.

By Bill Nanson
12/1/2006 (link)(Rousseau Armand Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St.Jacques) (From magnum) Medium-plus ruby-red colour. A deep, intense, meaty nose that starts with a slightly diffuse width. There is also a faint oaky component to the depth, but it’s mainly consumed now - with time the fruit really tightens and focuses. In the mouth this wine is still immensely youthful - 10 extra years would provide ample benefit - the acidity is like a roller-coaster into the finish, and a very impressive and intense finish it is too. Bravo, but still a baby.
