A wine with little bit of East and little bit of West. The sandlewood on nose with cinnamon, tree bark and smoky plum quality with plum, strawberry and prunes on the nose. Beautiful with creamy cheeses — 5 years ago
Un peu unidimensionnel comme saveur. Après 12 ans, je me serais attendu à avoir une complexité plus grande. Un peu de fruit, cerise et framboise. Pas vraiment d’épices. J’ai l’impression que les vins de Courcel sont comme ceux de Confuron Cotetidot et prendront beaucoup de temps à se dévoiler. — 6 years ago
A Lovely wine but not even close to the roumier musigny. Well developed, needs to be drink now. Good acidity, fruit gone, Forest soil, wet leaves, barnyard. — 6 years ago
Killed by decanting. Amazing right from opening. A little while decanted - fucked it straight over. High rate is before decant. — 7 years ago
Wicked. Dirty dirty dirty flirty. Stones and rocks and Earth and dirt. Super potent fruity goodness. Best bachelor party ever. #grandcrufriday — 7 years ago

Black cherry, with spice and minerality on the finish. Wine has nice acidity and paired well with food. — 4 years ago

Crushed violets give way to big, juicy blackberries. The Gamay gives this nice lightness. Splendid — 4 years ago
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. — 6 years ago
Beautifully elegant and light. Wide range of fruit, but a backbone of mushrooms and herbs. — 6 years ago
Seems like infanticide even with 12 years on it. Reticent at first but became quite floral with time in the glass. Surprising elegance for a Charmes. Not as muscular as I was expecting. A pleasant surprise. 93+ — 7 years ago
