from half bottle, very balanced, open, light red fruit, rather elegant than rustic for a Gevrey, some floral notes, convinces through balance and subtleness

For the “real” price on allocation it is definitely worth the money but nowhere near justifies the price tag on the secondary market whic is a factor 3-4.
Red fruited, elements of typical Gevrey - iodine, meat, spices and quite structured tannins. With air it softens up and is quite elegant and complex in its expression.

très bon et typique de l'appellation sans se distinguer vraiment, j'aime davantage un 1er cru avec un élevage plus travaillé d'un domaine plus modeste de l'appellation à des prix inférieurs

Showing plenty. Highly perfumed red and black fruits are trimmed with floral spice. It has ample flesh and mid-palate sap and every sip unlocks a new earthy nuance. There’s real depth for its level and it finishes with excellent cut and is expansive. Still so young but a joy to drink.

Horizontale de Gevrey-Chambertin 2016: Nez discret mais subtil. Un vin fin, racé et classique, c’est élégant, juteux et complexe, bref un vin complet, de bonne longueur. C’est mon préféré, le plus typé Gevrey à mon sens. 91-92 pts

Soft tone of (dried) floral bouquet, with bright cheery and raspberry. Very pure and fresh with moderate weight and great intensity and fitness. Enjoyable now but of course can develop over the next 10 years or so. Rousseau really rocks even at the village level!
Served with 45 days Dry-Ages Prime Ribeye

Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2016. Trenger noe tid for å åpne seg. Vakker subtil nese. Pinotparfyme i 1er klassen - dog noe svakt foreløpig. Elegant vin med slank kjølig frukt og. god presisjon. Medium konsentrert og pen struktur. Fresh ungdom - mer å hente. Stram og flott finish. 92+ nå.

A lovey nose of red and blue fruits, dried flowers, meat and earth. Fine and silky in the mouth with a nice core of fleshy fruit. It has nice detail and good breadth to the finish. A very fine village wine.

This is an A+ villages -- drinks like a 1er or higher (and priced accordingly). Intense on the nose and palate. The fruit concentrated but super fresh and crunchy, and this shows moderate complexity. Long finish.
A real Rousseau - and of course to young; restrained, elegant, some tannins, some spice, fine core of fruit, a manly wine, but well behaved - still a baby. 92+ point #LaBoutduMonde#Beaune

SLDS November 2019: Smoky plum, cherry with good lifted roses. A pretty, red fruited palate, with crunchy acid that gives it a mouthwatering quality. Lovely.

BBQ & Wines (Oegstgeest, NL): Pure, stylish, with good concentration of refreshing black fruit, earth, fine silky tannins and delicious spices. Top village!

Meget pen nese med fin miks av parfyme og rød frukt med hint av spice. Sexy hele veien her. Ung juicy frukt på smak med høy friskhet og medium+ konsentrasjon. Ungt, men dette er skikkelig deilig å drikke akkurat nå. Muligens ørlite hul i midtpartiet. Lang presis finish med fine tanniner. Nydelig vin. 93p

DCWino got it exactly right on this one. Surprisingly open but not exactly exhuberant at this point. Didnt get any sense of reduction at all. Really fantastic quality village wine. Looking forward to trying again in 5-7 years

Damn these 2016 burgundy sings now. I love Rousseau, even their village rousseau. It was on list and I had to order it and damn good Gevrey

Mine is a half bottle.
Ripe red fruit, perfumy floral note, hints of spice, very concentrated. Smooth in the mouth, with good weight. A Very enjoyable wine.

Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Crunch red fruit, spicy spices and earthy mineral. Medium concentration, round and warm, medium acidity and good mineral presence.
