Santenay 2019 1er Cru Clos Rousseau, Vielles Vignes, Bachey-Legros

94 point, Decanter: "Clos Rousseau would be much more famous if it were located in Vosne-Romanée or Gevrey-Chambertin rather than Santenay, such is the quality of the wines from this Premier Cru. The limestone-rich soils have produced a wine that is racy, floral and refined with wonderful elegance, poise and finesse, subtle 30% new wood and a stony, flinty finish."

”Top 10 Burgundy producers to watch”, Tim Atkin MW i Decanter

Clos Rousseau befinder sig i den sydligste ende af Santenay, hvor jorderne er dybe og rødlige på en undergrund af bajociansk mergel, der mest ses i Côte de Nuits. Vinen stammer fra tre parceller, Le Petit Rousseau med vinstokke plantet i 1955, Le Grand Clos Rousseau med vinstokke plantet i 1980, og Les Fourneaux med vinstokke plantet i 1914! Farven er dybrød, duften intens og næsten "sødmefuld". Smagen fyldig og cremet med fornem koncentration og struktur nedenunder. Santenay i absolut topklasse!

94 Point - Tim Atkin MW (årgang 2016): "Located in the higher part of Santenay on very chalky soils, this is the best recent release of this wine, showing a harmonious marriage of scented red berry aromas, fine, refreshing acidity, subtle 25% new oak and savoury tannins. Santenay is increasingly a source of great - and great value - wines in Burgundy. 2022 - 2028."

18,5/20 Point - Bourgogne Aujourd'hui (årgang 2016): "Nez frais avec des notes de purée de fruits noirs et une touche grillé. La bouche est douce, charnue, avec une très belle maturité des tannins et une finale épicée."
