Un peu unidimensionnel comme saveur. Après 12 ans, je me serais attendu à avoir une complexité plus grande. Un peu de fruit, cerise et framboise. Pas vraiment d’épices. J’ai l’impression que les vins de Courcel sont comme ceux de Confuron Cotetidot et prendront beaucoup de temps à se dévoiler. — 8 years ago
Really very nice. Opened 6 hours before service and decanted for 3. Quite deep with great red fruit, bit of earth, medium structure, medium plus acid. Great pairing with some chicken meatballs with soy and ginger. Would have been higher but a smidge of the 14.5% heat comes through on the finish. Still very enjoyable. — 6 months ago
Enjoyed a single glass at Ambassade de Bourgogne. The 1985 “Les Feusselottes” pours a pale garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of desiccated strawberry, dried res flowers, mushrooms, sous bois, licorice, dried herbs and gentle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (resolved) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A fully mature Les Feusselottes that is showing its age, but showing well. Drink now. — 7 months ago
2009. Musty in all the right ways on the nose. Smooth and balanced. — 5 years ago
Crushed violets give way to big, juicy blackberries. The Gamay gives this nice lightness. Splendid — 7 years ago
Fuller bodied than expected (but barely medium weight) after reading about the Lavaux site which is cooler and south facing. It is always the last Rousseau Wine to be picked. Notes of sour red cherry and forest floor - lovely earthy aromas. Appropriate intensity and weight for a Premier Cru over a Grand Cru which are becoming over priced. I have one left which I would like to compare with a Bass Phillip Premium from Gippsland from 2009 both tasted blind. The consensus should be interesting. — 8 years ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Beautiful nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light wood, chocolates, sweet tobacco leaf, earth, mushrooms and and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, oak, chocolates, light licorice, barnyard, mushrooms, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, light forest floor, black tea and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a gorgeous Pinot Noir from Cote d'Or in Burgundy. Still rich, with plenty of fruits. Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex and interesting.
This 17 year old Pinot Noir is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 30 minutes of airtime.
Delicious by itself as a sipping wine.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
