Reviewed February 2019A strong dose of new oak lends vanilla, toast and sweet sawdust aromas and flavors, masking the cherry core. Somewhat awkward despite the cherry note, but silky, with a long, spicy aftertaste. (BS)

The new addition of the Gevrey-Chambertin “Clos du Château” at Domaine Rousseau is really lovely in 2015, offering up a beautiful and very red fruity personality on both the nose and palate. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of cherries, strawberries, raw cocoa, gamebird and a lovely base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and very elegant in profile, with a lovely core, fine focus and grip, gentle tannins and lovely length and bounce on the well-balanced finish. 90+

Good bright red. Lovely perfumed aromas and flavors of red cherry and rose petal. Sappy and creamy on the palate--in fact almost voluptuous for a young Rousseau wine--but without quite the delineation or distinction of the following samples I tasted here. Finishes juicy and spicy. These vines belong to the Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, which was purchased by a Chinese businessman in 2012. Rousseau has been managing the vineyards while the château itself is being restored. He pulled up the oldest vines here (80 years of age) this year for replanting but the remaining plants still average 60 years of age. (ST)
