December 2, 2023 - 50th Birthday Bash - night #2: Tasted next to the Vogue C-M '14. They were both lovely. I cannot honestly say that the Rousseau was any more enjoyable than the Vogue. While both were great, I resisted allowing label bias from the Rousseau to bias my palate. Bottom line... both were young and need more time in the cellar.

Ai ai, det er noe med å drikke Rousseau - nesten umulig å ikke la seg forføre.
Sunne flasker fremstår omtrent som den første forelskelsen.
Parfymert Pinot, lysende rødfrukt og de lekreste krydderier.
Leken i anslaget, særdeles elegant og drikkevennlig.
God konsentrasjon med balansert friskhet.
Herlig å drikke nå, men vil utvikle seg positivt med videre lagring.
Ingen skarpe kanter.
Kun et fast bitt i finish.
De fineste tanniner.
Super flaske, og skyhøy drikkeglede. 94p -

June 4, 2023 - Tasted double blind. This wine is in incredibly good early form. The level of complexity, the ever-changing aromas are to die for. A friend described it poetically as going to the theater and being entertained on the highest level with constantly changing scenes, twist and turns and surprises around every corner. Superb and easily the best red of the night.
TN: Superb bouquet: dark berries, tobacco, mushrooms, seemed older at first. The with time more and more sweet red berries, fresher, rounder and purer. Same as on the palate. The wine kept giving new aromas with ever sip and sniff. A rainbow of berries in all colors and shapes, some cola, some minty notes, some spices in addition to the strong minerality, tobacco, soil, and animalistic notes. The purity of the fruit was remarkable and with time there was this intriguing fresh red berry core which took over. Very elegant structure and feel with ultra fine tannins, superb acidity, a satin-like, weightless texture all culminating in a medium+ length finish. The balance was just superb and the best of all Burgs we had.
Decanting: No extensive decanting necessary, was good from the go. -

Un nez absolument charmant, enivrant, avec des notes florales, de fraises des champs, des herbes séchées et même une pointe d’orange sanguine.
La bouche est assez puissante mais c’est fin, racé et raffiné, il nous laisse une sensation de plénitude. Savoureux, dans un style un peu plus « sérieux » sur ce millésime, il est encore fougueux, mais l’équilibre est excellent. Seule la finale de longueur moyenne m’empêche de donner encore plus de points.
Un magnifique vin de la commune de Gevrey, peut-être le meilleur Charmes que j’ai pris. 94 pts1 person found this helpful Comments (2) -

January 9, 2023 - (Kurznotiz) Helles Rot. Die Nase eine kleine Droge, floral, Rosenblüten, rote Frucht, super verspielt, alle paar Minuten kommen neue Elemente dazu, hervorragend. Im Gaumen weich, rund, top Gerbstoff, feine Würze, ein Traumtänzer, hochelegant, langanhaltend, ausgewogen. Sensationell aktuell. www.vvwine.ch
