Tasting Notes and Scores
A deeply pitched yet airy and elegant nose features primarily dark berry fruit aromas that project a muted but noticeable sauvage note that merges into rich, earthy and relatively supple medium-bodied flavors that also reflect this subtle sauvage character, all wrapped in a delicious and intense finish that delivers excellent length. This is a wine of harmony and near perfect balance that has turned out better than I had envisioned. Try from 2016+.

Rousseau's 2006 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers â like the corresponding village wine â is pungently smoky in aromatics, here allied to scents of dried cherries and game. Tart cherry with prominent skin and bitter pit adjuncts on the palate take on added piquancy from a component of black pepper. A stony undertone lends a certain sense of austerity, and this finishes with toothsome grip, yet without any coarseness of tannin. Here is Pinot in a rather old-fashioned Northern Rhone Syrah sort of way, except more refreshing, and almost delicate on the palate. It will be interesting to follow its evolution, but I would be inclined to plan on drinking if over the next half dozen years. Drink 2009-2015.

Pale, bright red. Aromatic nose combines red cherry, rose petal and mint. Supple and pretty, with lovely purity and moderate density to the red fruit and floral flavors. Offers nice balance and a light touch. Finishes with firm tannins and lingering perfume.
