ROBERT PARKER ” Tasted blind at the Arches, another sublime Clos de Beze from Rousseau that is a masterclass in poise rather than power. Wonderful, life-affirming purity on the nose that is simply pure Pinot Noir, that essence of transparency and clarity. The palate is beautifully balanced with superb acidity, very feminine and lithe with ultra-fine tannins leading to a succinct mineral-rich finish that does not have great length, but is refined and delectable. A point. Tasted May 2011. “
