Domaine Jacques Girardin Santenay 1er Cru Clos Rousseau 2020

Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France

Bordeaux Bard – 89 Points

A bit of a letdown. Finding value in Burgundy is always a challenge! I should have tempered my expectations, though the price for a Premier Cru was tempting. While it’s a solid bottle overall, it doesn’t offer the best ‘value.’ Ready to drink the moment the cork was pulled and went down smoothly with lots of ripe fruit. However, it lacks real complexity and structure. Still, an enjoyable, easy-drinking wine. (Carson McEvoy).
