Vinous (90)Rousseau’s 1988 Charmes-Chambertin was superb. Deeply expressive, it blossomed on the palate with endless layers of flavor, stunning balance, and a note of sweetness on the long, lingering finish. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a savoury, quite meaty nose underneath that carapace of red fruit, very well defined with rose petal and light peony scents. Quite mercurial in the glass. The palate is elegant, though delivers all the substance you demand from a Grand Cru, demonstrating more flesh than the 2009 Ruchottes-Chambertin, quite minerally and intense on the persistent finish. This is a "grower"—the more I come back to this, the more I fall for its charms. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2016 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is more backward on the nose compared to the 2017, darker and blacker fruit by direct comparison, traces of autumn leaves on a muddy ground (to quote The White Stripes), fragrant and alluring. The palate has a ripe and almost opulent entry that has a touch more rondeur than the 2017 as you would expect. There is a core of sweet candied fruit here, hints of bouquet garni and bay leaf towards the structured and almost stocky finish. Again, like the 2017, it seems to have gained weight since I last tasted it and it deserves a higher score. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (95)The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is a splendid wine for the vintage. This has a sensual bouquet with vibrant red berry fruit, wild hedgerow, rose petal and, as I wrote before, quintessential Rousseau in style. Wonderful delineation. The palate is medium-bodied and armed with that killer thread of acidity. Vibrant and mineral-driven, it fans out gloriously towards the finish and has a long road ahead of it. Superb. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2020 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a mixture of red and black fruit, beautifully delineated, hints of blood orange and crushed stone percolating through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, perfectly judged acidity, slightly granular in texture towards the finish that displays commendable weight and length. Again, there is just the right sapidity on the finish. Superb. |

Wine Advocate (85)At the top level, Rousseau consistently produces three profound wines - Gevrey-Chambertin-Clos St.-Jacques (as good as most producer's grands crus), Chambertin-Clos de Beze, and Chambertin. That being said, I remain perplexed as to why Rousseau's other wines are so surprisingly light and fluid. While good, sometimes very good, they are markedly inferior to his top three wines. Never one to jump on the bandwagon for forward, super-ripe vintages, (Rousseau still believes 1983 is the finest vintage of the eighties), he is unpersuaded by the acclaim bestowed on 1990. I was surprised by the lightness of the Clos de la Roche. The color is light ruby, and the nose is elegant, with a flowery, cherry fruitiness and a touch of earth in the background. In the mouth, this attractive wine is round, simple, and fruity. It should be consumed over the next 6-7 years. Rousseau reminded me that it had been bottled only one month when I tasted it, which, he claims, may have caused it to taste lighter. I might add that Rousseau does do a moderately intense filtration at bottling. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY. |

Vinous (87-88)Good cherry-red. More complex, riper aromas of black cherry, smoke, meat, mocha and herbs. Sweeter and silkier on the palate; this is a step up in material. The acids here are more successfully integrated. Finishes with good firm tannins and some complexity. |
