  PnP. Helt åpen og luftig. Har en del modning. Er på den lyse og lette siden. Har noen vegetale og peprete elementer, men uten at det blir stygt. Veldig pen nese.
  
  Lett på tå i munn. Vektløs i frukten. Fine tanniner som nesten ikke merkes. Ren juice.
  
  Flott nese, litt enkel i munn. Hadde drukket denne ila. et par år om jeg hadde den i kjelleren. 92-93p.

  Reductive start, which does blow off after 15 minutes. Floral notes open up, but feel is lean and not especially forgiving.

  Blind. Mostly Gevrey in characters with some light greeness. Grand Cru that is slightly better than Charmes from 07/08? Drinking quite well, not much Rousseau blue fruit but decent. 93

  Very fruit forward and juicy but nice depth and minerality. Cherry, cloves, herbs…. Good but tough for the premium.

  Drunk together with Dujacs CdR 2014 and right now Rousseau outperformed it - not by much but on the day it was a couple of points above
  
  Very very light and red fruited for a Rousseau - cherries, raspberry with hints of green pepper and tomato still. Absolutely beautiful integrated oak and silky soft tannins.
  
  I was really surprised on how open and approachable it was at this quite early stage and some of the characteristics you sometime find in you Rousseau like green stilked, herbal and opulent wine with more spice than fruit and high tannins was nowhere to be traced here. Tasters was equally surprised.
  Surely can be kept for many years but if one wishes to try a “young” GC from Rousseau this is a good place to start.
  A true delight and true Grand Cru from a master!!
