  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

  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.

  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.
