Tasting notes
I was rather severe with my original review of Rousseau's 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Village. Offering up aromas of red berries, cassis and plums, mingled with hints of spice, candied peel and raw cocoa, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and elegant, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a penetrating finish. While it's comparatively open as a young wine, it will reward further cellaring.

Bright medium red, a bit darker than the Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château. Darker, spicier and more complex on the nose, conveying a suggestion of Brochon power. A step up in energy and clarity as well, offering lovely density and cut to its raspberry and spice flavors. Finishes classically dry, firmly structured and long. As impressive an early showing as I can recall for this village wine chez Rousseau.
Seven parcels including some from Ch de Gevrey. Fresh and bright, sweet fruit. Edgy. Quite cool – none of the richness of 2015. (JR)
