Domaine Nicolas, Santenay Grand Clos Rousseau 2024

Domaine Nicolas Santenay Grand Clos Rousseau 2024 is an intense and elegant red Burgundy, distinguished by its almost black ruby colour, concentrated fruit and finely structured palate. Its 12 months of oak ageing, including 35% new barrels, adds depth through subtle caramelised and toasted nuances while preserving the wine’s expressive fruit character. As a wine from Santenay’s Grand Clos Rousseau climat, it reflects the refined, age-worthy style associated with southern Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a brilliant, deep ruby-red colour with almost black highlights. On the nose, it combines fragrant peony with ripe red and dark fruit, including black cherry and blackcurrant, alongside notes of candied fruit. The oak maturation brings additional layers of caramel and gentle toast. On the palate, it is complex, intense and well structured, with dense, mature fruit that carries through to a persistent finish. Despite its concentration, the wine retains an elegant profile. Further bottle ageing should allow the fruit, oak and structure to integrate beautifully, and it is likely to gain additional complexity after several years in the cellar.

Production
Produced in Santenay’s Grand Clos Rousseau climat in Burgundy, this wine is shaped by the region’s classic red-wine tradition and its focus on expressive, structured fruit. The grape variety and specific harvesting method have not been provided. Following vinification, the wine matures for 12 months in oak barrels, 35% of which are new, lending carefully integrated toasted and caramelised notes to the finished wine.

Food & Serving
Its intensity and structure make it a natural match for richly flavoured dishes such as entrecôte, rib roast and game. It also pairs particularly well with classic Burgundian cheeses, including Époisses, Cîteaux and Reblochon. Serve lightly cool, around 16–18°C. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended when serving the wine young; older bottles are best handled carefully and may only need a short time in the decanter, if any.
