Tasting notes
The 2015 Santenay Clos Rousseau is terrific. Tightly wound and energetic, perhaps from the 20% whole clusters, the 2015 nevertheless possesses notable stylishness and aromatic lift. The interplay of intensity of fruit and freshness is compelling. There is so much to like here. Today, the Clos Rousseau is delicate, understated and very pretty.

Rich sweet nose. Lots of concentration – really quite dramatic with a bit of oak in evidence. Spicy – almost cinnamon! Very sweet overall. Slight metallic note on the end. (JR)
The 2015 Santenay 1er Cru Clos Rousseau, matured in 30% new oak and with 25% whole bunch, has a charming bouquet with plenty of raspberry and crushed strawberry scents, more blue fruit emerging compared to the Cuvée S. The palate is medium-bodied with juicy sappy red and black fruit, a very subtle chalkiness towards the finish, but remaining very focused and tensile all the way through. This is an excellent wine from David Moreau - possibly his best in 2015.
