The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru continues to show a patina of new oak, dark berry fruit, sous-bois and light floral scents, iris petal and violet. This gains cohesion with time in…

This is turning out a bit better than I imagined it might with its fresh and pretty red berry fruit nose that presently displays only a trace of secondary character along with hints of earth and the…

88-89 Brightly redolent of fresh red currant and blackberry, accompanied by Lapsang tea, fennel, and maritime suggestions of brine and alkali, Rousseau's 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers displays…

91-93 Good bright, deep red. Wild, vibrant nose offers black cherry, black raspberry, minerals and spices; conveys a small-berry feel. At once dense and juicy; more masculine than the…

90-92 Here there is a bit more elegance to the red and dark cherry aromas that are liberally laced with earth, humus and game wisps. This too has a lovely sense of vibrancy and a finer mouth feel…

Moderately saturated palish red color seemed to grow darker with aeration. Fresh perfume of red fruits, dried flowers, truffle, mushroom and underbrush. Not a large-scaled or expansive grand cru but…

Muscular' is how Cyrielle Rousseau describes her Clos de la Roche, made from two parcels - one high and one low - that total 1.48ha, with some parts over a century old. Everything is relative, of…

Rousseau's 1988 Charmes-Chambertin was superb. Deeply expressive, it blossomed on the palate with endless layers of flavor, stunning balance, and a note of sweetness on the long, lingering finish.

94-96 The 2018 Mazy-Chambertin Grand Cru has a beautifully defined bouquet of intense red berry fruit and displays superb mineralité - vrai Mazys. It is more serious than the Charmes-Chambertin. The…

The most 'reliable' of the domaine's grands crus, according to Cyrielle Rousseau, this comes from a 55-year-old parcel and produces small berries (millerands) in the vineyard. It's always a highly…

Winemaker Description This vineyard lies in Morey-Saint-Denis and is the only appellation in the Domain which is not part of the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. The wines are mineral and vibrant; long,…

92-94 The 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers is showing very well, and Cyrielle Rousseau told me that while the domaine has had to replant part of their holdings in this climat, they have…

The 2004 Charmes-Chambertin from Rousseau comes from an infamous vintage marred by vegetal notes, but this is one of the few cuvées that seems to have been spared. It opens nicely with Morello cherry…

An overtly sauvage and fresh if brooding nose features notes of tea, dark currant and leather. There is a relatively elegant mouth feel thanks to the presence of both a discreet minerality as well as…

Rousseau's 2011 Ruchottes-Chambertin dazzles from start to finish. Plums, black cherries, cloves and violets are among the many notes that are alive in the glass. This is a surprisingly rich,…

Rousseau needs little introduction. It's simply one of Burgundy's (and the world's) best domaines. Domaine Rousseau own 1.5ha in Clos de La Roche. This retains a great colour and is still quite tight…
