A touch of wood spice frames an ultra elegant cool and mineral suffused red currant cherry and raspberry nose that complements to perfection the detailed supple round and wonderfully classy medium weight flavors that possess positively gorgeous complexity on the sappy mouth coating and explosively long finish. A wine of harmony and style with outstanding depth and the particularity of the '07 Clos St. Jacques is its unmatched delicacy.

Drunk from double-magnum, Rousseau's 2007 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques is showing very well, bursting from the glass with an expressive bouquet of raspberries, red plums, raw cocoa, peonies, sweet soil tones and spicy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it's an open-knit, expressive wine, its ample core of fruit framed by succulent acids and melting tannins. It's drinking very well already. - William Kelley
