Rousseau's 2022 'classic' village-level Gevrey (as opposed to the Clos du Château) is a spectacular introduction to the range – as good as most of the premier cru wines from this village. There is immense depth of flavour, with notes of black cherry and pomegranate with a floral edge and shadings of earth and leather. The texture is surprisingly dense for a village-level wine, and the finish is impressively long. This wine is a blend of eight parcels, including several premier cru plots, and the result is a noble reflection of the village of Gevrey. Drinking Window: 2027-2065.
"Mid purple more depth, equally striking. This absolutely fills the mouth with the most beautiful cherries and raspberries, and just a very slightly dry finish which the fruit soon climbs over. (Nov 2023)"
