Jacques Girardin, Santenay, Clos Rousseau 1er Cru 2015
On the southern extremity of Santenay is this vineyard, on the border with the Maranges. The name comes from a certain Mr. Rousseau, the owner of this clos at some point. Despite the orthographic difference we suppose today that the Petit Clos Rousseau, Grand Clos Rousseau in Santenay and the Clos Roussot in Maranges were owned by the same family and were divided under inheritance. Another explanation is the French sobriquet "roussot" : the redhead.
With a beautiful exposition to the south-east and a relief marked by many cracks, the Clos Rousseau is an excellent terroir. The soil is more thick and clayey than Beauregard and covered of limestone marls which drain the moisture and help to freshen up the vines during the summer. This gives a rich wine, well structured and with a great cellaring potential.

Double decanted and then an hour of decant time, the nose is very nice, with cranberry and forest floor. The palate is taut, with higher acidity in league with the medium body the wine possesses. Cherry and cranberry mingle with the fine grained tannins this has going on as well. A solid QPR for this slightly higher than entry level Santenay. 3/20/2022

Slight bricking, garnet. Nice aromas of forest floor, cranberries and strawberries and cherries, and herbs, spices. Medium body, good acidity, nice balance. Bursting cherries and sticks and green twigs, and clove. Nice and round tannins. A tad rustic, in a good way. Nice. Drinking perfectly now. 2/25/2023
