Siggy Turns "Fitty": The Big 5-0 Blowout! (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Translucent light medium ruby red color. Small glass over 30 minutes. Wow, this is lovely, pristine and pure, red flowers, tart cherry, cherry skin, dried spice, graphite, sous bois and such pretty red berries, beautiful wine filled with a silky texture and fine tannins. What a treat, thanks Craig!! Geez these are good.

Took to wine buddy Siggy's fabulous 50th B-Day party at Spoon & Stable in Minneapolis. Opened one hr prior to leaving home. Finding it open & resolved decided not to decant. Upon arrival, removed the cork again & further slow-oxed till poured 2hrs+ later following champagne & still whites. Perfuse aromas of roses, berries & underbrush. The palate is as elegant & tastefully luxuriant as the interior of a brand new Jaguar F-Type. Perhaps better than any other producer in Burgundy, Rousseau captures the essence of Pinot Noir as it thrives in Gevrey Chambertin's marvelous terroir. This is a wine of weightless high toned red fruit, site geology, fleeting spices & game bird notes. Most of all, that stunning purity & finesse evident in every Rousseau btl. 13% alc. A great btl to mark the occasion! 2 left to further explore in 3-5.

Bu lors d’un dîner au QG. Autre belle surprise, nez sur la cannelle, fruits noirs, bleuets au départ il me semble, épicé. Très belle bouche, fine et élégante et contrairement à plusieurs 2006, non dénuée d’éclat. Pas dispo au Québec malheureusement. 94-95 pts our moi aisément

(Rousseau Armand Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St.Jacques) Again, medium-pale colour. A very ‘together’ if understated nose. Less obviously effusive in the mouth versus the villages, but there is an added mineral aspect. Super length, but today you’ll find more to enjoy in the villages.

Better than expected. Sweet, floral aromatics with candied tinge.

Magnifique vin que je placais à Chambolle, voire Clos la Roche. Élégant et très fin, superbe. 93 pts
