Wednesday, December 10, 2014 - My last btl and singing tonight. PnP out at dinner and served along side a very nice 2001 Jadot CSJ that was showing too much oak at this juncture compared to the stellar balance of the Rousseau CDLR. This Cru gets very little love compared to the Rousseau "big 3" of CSJ, Beze and Chambertin but, this btl tonight showed all the greatness you expect from Rousseau. That said its too bad that more recent vintages of everything Rousseau are largely out of reach of most everyday Joes like myself. Fortunately, I snatched this up for $81 around 2005. Terrific spice, minerality, red fruit, length and beautiful texture. So pure and fresh. The Jadot will likely perform much better too with time but, it was fun to see the Rousseau prove its superior producer pedigree tonight in the same vintage. The Rousseau style is everything I want in red Burgundy. Wish I could afford more of them!
