Tasting notes
Pale ruby with very broad colourless rim. Light, brisk nose. Pretty tart and lacking fruit in the middle. If this was the only Rousseau you ever tasted you would be very disappointed. Lightweight and fairly short. But then Rousseau wines are often disappointing when young and seem to take on flesh with the years. (JR)

Palish red. Aromatic nose offers smoked meat, iron, flowers and a hint of currant leaf. Suppler than the Lavaux, with juicy fruit and a bit more texture, and sweeter tannins.
