2018 Gevrey Chambertin Clos du Chateau

Tasting Notes
More vibrant and ethereal than its rich, muscular communal counterpart, Rousseau's 2018 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château wafts from the glass with an inviting bouquet of red berries, raw cocoa and plums mingled with hints of cedar and spices. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and charming, with lively acids and fine, powdery tannins, it's bright and beautifully balanced, despite the extremes of the vintage.

Lively pretty purple, lovely sandalwood aspect to the attractive perfumed nose. Lovely light cherry, very long finish on the simple red fruit. Delicious.
