"This is a glorious Clos St. Jacques, which knocked Rousseauâs Ruchottes into a hat! The bouquet is so perfumed and heavenly with bright red cherries, redcurrant, minerals and wild raspberry. The palate is beautifully defined, the oak still a little prominent but retaining that ethereal weightlessness and poise, with a thread of acidity enlivening the finish. Exquisite, one of Rousseauâs finest â05s."

The Cote de Nuits' largest Grand Cru commune, producing powerful, structured and deeply flavored Pinot Noir built for long aging.
2005 in Burgundy is a legendary vintage from a near-ideal, dry growing season; both reds and whites are concentrated, structured and superbly balanced, with dense tannins and exceptional long-term aging potential.
