  January 30, 2024 - A delicious Chambertin, although not delivering the usual complexity Domaine Rousseau normally delivers. Charming but quite light on its feet. Lovely mouthfeel, nice freshness, delicate tanins, medium length. A very good wine that just falls short of my expectations.

  January 14, 2024 - Great depth of aromas, sous bois, juniper, and mature Pinot fruit. Fantastic nose, harmonious
  
  Medium+ bodied, growing sneaking intensity through the curve with leaves, dried fruits and a long dusty finish.
  This is so zen, light touch and elegant feeling with perfect maturity.

  December 21, 2022 - Spice, crunchy red blue fruit on nose and palate needs time to round out but great flavor now.

  April 8, 2021 - Rousseau Chambertin v Rousseau Clos de Beze vertical battle - WHO WILL REIGN SUPREME!? (Jonathan Club): 2013 is a semi maligned vintage in Burgundy, but on the top end for both white and red Burgundy I feel like they've really shined. I can't remember the last 2013 from one of the top producers that I wasn't absolutely floored by the material in the wine. Had the 2013 Rousseau Clos de Beze a few months ago and it was a really incredible wine in that spicy structured manner.
  
  The 2013 Chambertin we had today was full on wild sweet red berry fruit on a broad meaty profile. You get some smoked game, sweet earthy and pops of sweet berry that run deep into the finish. Also the acidity plays a huge role in the undercurrent of the wine as it keeps all that wildness in check and focused. Really damn good wine. I think everyone at the table was pretty surprised how fantastic it was.
