Santenay Rouge 1er Cru, “Grand Clos Rousseau”

Sylvain was most excited to inherit this full 0.40-hectare holding from his father. Planted in 1993, the Grand Clos Rousseau was always the top red wine from Jean-Marc Morey and always the most impressive old wine from his cellar. Intensely aromatic, with rich red fruits, savory earthy tones and sweet tannins, this over-achiever often stands up to the best reds of the Côte de Beaune. Roughly 30 cases a year are available for the US market.
