Super!!
November 28, 2022 - Dernière bouteille. Apogée passée, c‘est encore beau mais subrepticement, il faut se concentrer. Le bouquet s‘est éteint 4 heures après ouverture.
Quand le prix du marché dépassera mille dollars, ce sera de l’eau. A boire.
January 24, 2022 - This is a barometer of your Burgundy palate. If you don’t enjoy this, you might as well save your money and drink cali pinots. Exactly what jamesAbdavis said, with perhaps a tad more emphasis on finesse and overall seamlessness… it’s zen in a glass. I disagree with james in that there is abundant cherry and blueberry fruit to harmonize with sous-bois, a beautiful mineral streak and a hint of coffee grinds. Truly very special, in this specific time, to open this wine. I would open them all because why miss out on perfection of a village expression.
September 24, 2021 - Just wonderful highly aromatic nose of black cherries, earth, mint and minerals.
Lovely crystalline fruit on the palate. Lean and elegant in the style of the vintage. Lovely lift on the finish. Absolutely a point.
A little bit of a sense that the fruit is hanging off the acidic structure here so it’s time to drink but this is nonetheless superb.
October 8, 2020 - Drinking in peak form with 1er cru weight and plenty of Gevrey nuance and complexity. Classic and true to terroir and vintage.
October 8, 2020 - Fourrier Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Combes aux Moines Tasting (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Served double blind following Fourrier Combe aux Moine vertical. Black berry and cherry throughout with smoked meat, good density, good+ length. Assessed as a blind wine, this was clearly from Burgundy, seemed most likely from Gevrey, and I thought it 10-15 years old. I then correctly identified the vintage when told it was either 2009 or 2007. Knew it had to be Rousseau when told that it was Village level (I thought 1er Cru).
December 26, 2019 - Just; wow! I have never tasted this «low level» edition of aRousseau, and this really amazes me. Light red colour with only hints of brown. Intense nose of red berries, strawberries, as well as aged tones of dried prunes, caramel, and wet earth. Medium bodied, perfect balance, fantastic sweet prune-like fruit, fresh and long finish. A wonder!
November 30, 2019 - Classic Gevrey character and drinking at peak now. Aromatic with nice layering in the nose. The palate has good concentration, that's just about right for a Village wine, with above average nuance and complexity.
March 10, 2018 - Blackberries, cloves, mineral, middle body, good length, nice wine for the vintage, On it’s optimum I think.
September 17, 2017 - Not bad at this level, reminds me of Rousseau CdlR.
