Sweet, ripe and still primary fruit soars from the glass followed by gorgeously detailed, elegant flavors and solid tannins completely buffered by abundant extract. The length is of undeniable grand cru quality and the acid/fruit balance is perfect. This may be the finest Rousseau Clos St. Jacques of the decade. While this could be approached now and with pleasure, I would give it another 2 to 5 years. Consistent notes. BH
Eric and Charles Rousseau did no wrong in 1993. This 1993 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has blossomed in recent years. Showing some bricking on the rim, it has a captivating bouquet of raspberry, pomegranate, wet limestome and bay leaf, somehow effortless in style. The palate is taut and fresh with impressive focus, not the most powerful that I have encountered but as I commented before, there is a nonchalance about this wine that leaves you hooked.
