Jean Baptiste Jessiaume Santenay 1er Cru "Clos Rousseau" Rouge 2022, 750ml

Sourced from sustainably farmed Pinot Noir vines in the Premier Cru "Clos Rousseau," located on steep, southeast-facing slopes with gravelly clay-limestone soils in Santenay. The grapes are fully destemmed and cold macerated for 3 to 5 days to gently extract color and aromatics. Fermented with indigenous yeasts in open-top, temperature-controlled vats with light manual pigeage and remontage. The wine ages for 12 to 14 months on fine lees in French oak barrels (20% new oak, 80% neutral barrels) prior to bottling after a light filtration.

Tasting Note:

Aromas of concentrated black cherry, wild strawberry, cassis, dried rose petal, subtle forest floor, and baking spice. The palate is dry, medium-to-full-bodied, and structured, offering a dense core of dark berry fruit framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and vibrant, integrated acidity. The finish is clean, long, and stony.
