Domaine Jacques Girardin Santenay 1er Cru Clos Rousseau 2022 (375ml) *

From the southern end of the Côte de Beaune comes this red Burgundy, a premier cru bottling from the Clos Rousseau vineyard in Santenay made by Domaine Jacques Girardin. Like reds across this stretch of Burgundy, it is Pinot Noir grown in a cooler corner where the wines lean toward red fruit, earth, and a firm, savory frame rather than plush weight, the 2022 vintage giving a village that tends to reward a little patience in the glass.
