Side-by-side-comparison between 2011 Rousseau Lavaux St Jacques and 2011 Fourrier Clos St Jacques. The 2011 Rousseau Lavaux Saint Jacques offers a sleek array of dark fruits, blueberry fruit (which I always find in Lavaux St Jacques), delicate fruits with slight austereness but no detectable greenness unlike the Fourrier CSJ. However the Lavaux is much more reserved and almost too tamed with its sleek new oak and low pitched fruits. Overshadowed by the Fourrier CSJ. (89/100)
SLDS January 2018: Cherry, roses, redcurrant and tar on the nose. Medium bodied palate, there is some sweet fruit and roundness starting to come through. Probably in a bit of a transitional phase right now, but still very nice.

Has more mineral, meat and heft than the standard ’11 Gevrey we had the day before. It is very much red fruited. It has a beautiful silky texture and gained in floral perfume with air. There’s a gentle flex of sinewy muscle to the finish.
