Critics Ratings

'Some bricking at the rim. There is evident if not dominant sous-bois present on the spicy, earthy and slightly animale-suffused nose. The supple, delicious and quite round middleweight flavours possess a refined mouth feel before terminating in a sappy and lingering finish where a touch of backend warmth surfaces. While the Rousseau style is an elegant one I would describe this as unusually elegant for both the vintage and for what is typical for the Rousseau Clos de la Roche. In sum, this is a lovely if not truly sensational effort that is drinking perfectly now.' - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Nov 2015)
