The 2022 Santenay Clos Rousseau 1er Cru, containing 25% whole bunches, is more backward on the nose than the Beaurepaire, offering raspberry and mulberry fruit and fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp tannins. It’s quite a strict Santenay, fresh and sapid, though I find the Beaurepaire is more charming and seductive. This is a bit standoffish by comparison, yet it will mature well in bottle.
