February 4, 2023 - Nose: bubble gum, green pepper, mushroom, licorice, spices, dark fruits
Notes: Drank together with a Dujac Clos de la Roche 2007 and Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche 2007 and out of this combination this is the most expressive and outspoken bottle. Opened for 3.5 hours, it has an incredibly intensive nose and a relatively sweet palate. Together with the greenness of the vintage I must say this is opening quite nicely now. Unlike most of its gevrey chambertin cuvees from Armand Rousseau it does not have the game, musk and earthiness in it which perhaps are the notes that I was wishing for in the wine. This should be approaching its ideal drinking window already so I'd suggest it should be consumed sooner rather than later.

June 24, 2022 - Un nez incroyable, bouche assez en finesse sans être trop fondue ou trop évoluée, c’est très beau. 92-93
Gorgeous complex and expressive nose, palate is elegant and fine without being too old, very very nice. -

March 26, 2022 - Suprisingly fruit driven with little green vegetal notes. Very nice pinot nose. Nice complex on the palate with a medium finish.

March 5, 2022 - Some nice Burgundies (Chicago, IL): I tasted a few 2004 Rousseau a long time ago and when drinking them we had discussed that Rousseau was one of the few producers that wasn't too negatively affected by the awful vintage. Fast forward to today with this in my glass. The nose is distinctly herbal with a slightly brown edge (it seems to be how the green has aged), but on the palate there is a pretty strong kick of pyrazine still. A very light wine, it's sadly very unimpressive for the very high price that it commands. If for some reason you had to drink a 2004 red Burgundy though, you could certainly do worse.
