A refined expression of Santenay’s southern richness, this 2023 Clos Rousseau from Bachey‑Legros layers ripe red and black fruits with an undercurrent of mineral structure drawn from its deep, calcareous soils and centuries‑old vines. The palate is both supple and concentrated offering a brisk freshness from old‑vine concentration and deft élevage.
