Jacques Girardin Santenay 1er Cru Clos Rousseau

Great light translucent brick reddish color. Nose absent of all but the lightest of berries -- maybe a whiff of raspberry -- as a metallic earthiness begins to dominate -- the smell of a rusty old pair of garden scissor used to cut wildflowers and a bit of dry sagebrush. Palate is classic of the lightest burgundies -- no fruit and all earth and metallics. Would recommend serving as a cocktail alternative, perhaps shield slightly below cellar temperature. A good …

Superb. Early perhaps but wonderful nose and long finish. Give this some air as initially very closed. Dinner solo and by the end of the bottle the world was all good. 50% off on a Monday at La Sardine, Chicago. Done.

Bright crimson-cerise color. This is far too young to evaluate properly, but here goes: nose contains a pleasant mix of tart berry and fresh woody aromas. The palate on this is all bound up in acidic exuberance, with an hour of decanting loosening this only slightly. It's got promise, but I lack the requisite experience with this appelation and producer to provide a reliable forecast. I'd revisit this closer to 2020.

Mais robusto que seu irmão Beauregard tanto nos aromas tocando notas de tabaco aliado a muita fruta quanto em boca sendo mais presente em corpo. Belo vinho.
