Jasper Morris: 96-98 Points

Glowing vibrant deep purple with a heady but balanced nose. Thee is spectacular density here all beautifully balanced a real starburst of energy in a royal deep red fruit a delicious little touch of spice behind the right acidity and very fine length a spectacular Clos St-Jacques!

Burghound: 96 Points

A ripe yet exceptionally fresh combination is comprised by the essence of black cherry and poached plum allied with an array of spice floral earth and wood nuances. There is strikingly good intensity to the elegant but punchy medium weight plus flavors that exude palpable minerality on the powerful focused and superbly long and highly refreshing finale. The harmony and balance are impressive and this built-to-age CSJ should prove to be very long-lived even in the context of a wine that routinely repays several decades of cellaring.

Wine Advocate: 95-97 Points

Aromas of dark berries cherries plums burning embers loamy soil and black truffles framed by a patina of toasty new oak introduce Rousseau's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques a full-bodied deep and layered wine with a velvety attack that segues into a concentrated tightly wound core concluding with a long penetrating finish. This is a serious Clos Saint-Jacques that's built for the long haul. - by William Kelley 01/22
