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

Clear bright crimson. The bouquet started out similar but then developed a further burst of red fruit with maybe a touch of blood orange. A rich dark fruit behind with a more savoury character, a fine tensile strength despite its Rousseau discretion, and very good length.

Review

There is just enough wood present to mention framing the spicy aromas of poached plum, warm earth and an array of floral nuances, especially violet and lilac. The gorgeously textured and punchy middleweight plus flavors also brim with dry extract on the firm, serious, youthfully austere and hugely long finale. This is potentially terrific with the development potential to match. (Drink starting 2034)

Review

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of red berries and cherries mingled with baking spices, raw cocoa and peonies, Rousseau's 2022 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru is medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with a sweet core of fruit, soft tannins and a saline finish that sets it apart from the Charmes-Chambertin that preceded it in this tasting.
