2016 Santenay, Clos Rousseau, 1er Cru, Camille Giroud, Burgundy Saint-Julien Wine Advocate (August 2019)From the Clos des Roches Noires in the centre of this vineyard, there is an astonishing depth to the aromatics here, with hints of oriental spices alongside the classical Pinot fruit. The tannins are silky and refined; a classy wine with great distinction.
