While the estate of Jacques Girardin is well-regarded for consistently crafting authentic and elegant red Burgundy, the 2015 Clos Rousseau Premier Cru Santenay represents an extraordinary achievement that elevates the domaine's standard.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the southern extremity of Santenay is this \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003evineyard, 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 \u003cem\u003ePetit Clos Rousseau\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGrand Clos Rousseau\u003c\/em\u003e in Santenay and the \u003cem\u003eClos Roussot\u003c\/em\u003e in Maranges were owned by the same family and were divided under inheritance. Another explanation is the French sobriquet \"roussot\" : the redhead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|||[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e91 \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCellarTracker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDouble 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. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e3\/20\/2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 CellarTracker\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlight 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.
