Tasting Notes
Vinous 97
Sometimes the stars simply align. That is certainly the case at Rousseau in 2019, a truly extraordinary vintage at one of the world s most iconic estates. The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques 1er Cru is captivating right out of the glass. Soaring aromatics, deep layers of cool, blue-toned fruits and the silkiest of tannins captivate all the senses, from the intellectual to the hedonistic. What a total turn-on.
Anticipated maturity: 2025-2049
Robert Parker 96
Powerful and dramatic, Rousseau’s 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques bursts from the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis and plums mingled with notions of grilled meats, dark chocolate, exotic spices and loamy soila all framed by cedary new oak. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it’s layered and elegantly muscular, with a deep core of fruit, powdery tannins and bright acids.
