Description

From the moment the domain was established, the family developed an enduring ritual: the elders teach the ways of the vine to the next generation. Thus, they maintain the strong bond between man and vine, upholding the family values and strong work ethic through the years. In the Rousseau family, the heartfelt love of the vines is renewed with each generation; a profound respect for the terroir is anchored in the family values. Enter their world.

The domain is managed by Eric Rousseau, with the help of his daughter Cyrielle. It has expanded over the years and today covers 15 hectares and 3 acres. They own 3 hectares of Village appellation, 3 hectares 77 of Premier Crus, and 8 hectares 52 of Grand Crus, situated in Gevrey Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis

Review

Here too there is just enough wood to remark upon surrounding the well-layered blend of red and blue pinot fruit, earth, and a plenitude of spice and floral elements. The wonderfully energetic, sleek, and equally muscular larger-scaled flavours also brim with minerality on the refined, focused, balanced, and even more persistent finish. This is terrific and a wine that should easily repay two decades of cellaring if you have the patience.

Tasting Profile

Palate
"The 2019 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is highly perfumed on the nose, presenting an irresistible mixture of red and subtle blue fruit, very harmonious and exquisitely defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. A feminine and very elegant Clos de la Roche that may well be earlier-drinking than others but feels very poised, with a touch of spice on the finish. Excellent." Neal Martin- Vinous
