THAT Rousseau night (IT Shanghai): A generous sharing from a friend who picked up a case at 10% of current market value! First experience with this bottle. This has great pure red fruit, brimming with energy and great concentration from start to end. Strawberries, roses, cherry stems and olives wafted with ethereal elegance. This was a great experience but for me this doesn't warrant current market prices one bit.

The 2019 vintage is just so darn good and Charles Lachaux, no secret, crushed it and this humble village bottling punches well above its weight. Much more so than the aligote IMO. 100% whole cluster, it’s pure, bright and sappy with beautiful juicy red fruit and florals with an elegant palate and persistent finish. Love it on wine lists, not on wine searcher 😂

Delicious wine. is it worth the current secondary price? is anything worth that price really? but seriously I opened it before I knew what its going for now and DID think it drank above its release price point. very very tasty.

Rousseau dinner at Jade Palace: Made in a new-school, candied red-fruited style. Drank like a natural Beaujolais.

Bright and juicy and hyper-polished, this is really delicious. Velvety red and dark fruits with a nice acidic spine.
