Les Chabœufs Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2016

Very dark rubi robe, nose of asian spices, roses and violets. Medium bodied, rich but elegant, dark red fruits and the spiciness we got on the nose. Really excellent now but lots of potential. Great bottle. — 3 years ago

Takes a while to open but once it does the earthy herbal cherry aromatics really start to show. Absolutely delicious — 5 years ago

2016. Really great wine. A bit young and will be great in 5+ years. Earthy woodsy nose, medium body, some dark fruit with mineral. Decant for at least 1 hour. — 7 years ago

Estate named Beau-Séjour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle, proprietor at the time.

Blend of 87% Merlot, 9% Cab Sauv & 4% Cab Franc. Nice berry aromas, ripe cherry & fresh raspberry flavors with notes of sweet cacao & tobacco adding some toasty notes. Firm tannins, not overpowering, lingering ending with tangy sweet oak.Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

Lavaut St Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2009

Fuller bodied than expected (but barely medium weight) after reading about the Lavaux site which is cooler and south facing. It is always the last Rousseau Wine to be picked. Notes of sour red cherry and forest floor - lovely earthy aromas. Appropriate intensity and weight for a Premier Cru over a Grand Cru which are becoming over priced. I have one left which I would like to compare with a Bass Phillip Premium from Gippsland from 2009 both tasted blind. The consensus should be interesting. — 7 years ago

Interesting! I would have thought it would be quite a dense beast. I do love Lavaux, as it is as you say, a cooler site and usually has more perfume in youth than it’s neighbouring counterparts (re: Champeaux, Combottes, Clos St-Jacques etc)

Torn. Needed to pick up some wine from east bank but didn’t get it done this week. Do I not have wine with prime ribeye, or do I crack one of my favorites that I had hoped to keep for a bit longer... and, now I have one fewer. :) — 8 years ago

Domaine Bruno Clair

Clos St. Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Solid CSJ, widely considered a Grand Cru equivalent. But for those who wonder if Fourrier and Rousseau’s CSJ’s are that much better to be more than double the price, the answer is yes. — 4 years ago

Clos des Fourches Nuits St. Georges Pinot Noir

2005. So freaking smooth. Great balance. Little dark fruit tartness toward back. Wish had a touch more young fruit on the front. But so good. — 5 years ago

Domaine Cruchandeau

Aux Saints Jacques Nuits-Saint-Georges 2017

Lovely intense medium cherry lipstick nose. Palate is crunchy cherries. Delicious. Perfect balance. Amazing freshness. Stay tuned ... this will change as it opens.

As it opens the nose is dense perfume. Really concentrated. Almost like a gas transforming into a liquid in your nostrils.

Palate is amazing. Terrific texture. Crazy internal aromatics. Palate coating beyond belief.

90 minutes in this is spectacularly delicious.

This vaporizes chevillon so bad it’s not funny. Cant believe this is a village wine. Wow.

Tanins are still a bit chunky. My guess is that they need another 2-3 years to smooth out.

Bought from fass selections.
