2022/7/9-10 with chicken with white wine and tarragon, Kenji Lopez-Alt’s roasted potatoes, etc. This was an interesting bottle; as Jasper Morris notes, there’s a bit of intentional CO2 spritz present even after all these years. On day 1, that added a bit of an edge to things, but at the core there is a lovely nose of spiced (mace, vanilla) cookies, buttery caramel and various fruit tarts. The palate really did better on day 2, which revealed a more relaxed, integrated, spherical whole. Overall, the nose was the star - but considering that this improved after opening, I’d love to see how it is with even more time. — 2 years ago
Similar notes from April 2020 when I last had it. A red fruited nose giving a lovely earthy perfume with Sous Bois influences. Loam, compost heap nose. Same red fruits on the medium weight palate with strawberry and a touch of raspberry. As Jasper Morris said in his book, Lavaux St Jacques is one of the cooler sites in Gevrey Chambertin. This is always the last Rousseau wine to be picked and enjoying a longer hang time. After a couple of hours, just a gorgeous nose. — 3 years ago
