Note di degustazione
The 2004 Charmes-Chambertin from Rousseau comes from an infamous vintage marred by vegetal notes, but this is one of the few cuvées that seems to have been spared. It opens nicely with Morello cherry and crushed strawberry scents, touches of orange pith and allspice. Nope - no greenness here. Chalky, edgy tannins and moderate depth frame the palate. It's tart and does attenuate quite sharply toward the finish. But overall, this is perfectly fine. Tasted at Robert's dinner in Beaune.

Slightly grey crimson with a very pale rim. Very light nose. Very light cherry flavours and lots of acidity. Rather austere on the palate. Definitely not charming! But again, this may be the cussed young Rousseau problem (see note on the Cazetiers 2004). (JR)
Pale-medium red; lacks saturation. Spicy aromas of leather and game. Pliant and aromatic in the mouth, with sweet cherry and raspberry fruit and suggestions of spicy oak. A bit fresher and deeper than the Cazetiers.
Cask sample. True, zesty nose with good concentration on the palate. Smudgy mushroom character (very rare this vintage). Flattering and beautifully balanced. Already lovely, but with lots of tannin. Long. (JR)
