Based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, Armand Rousseau is one of the oldest and most prestigious family-operated domaines in Burgundy. Their Chambertin Grand Cru from the 2009 vintage reveals a youthful, yet remarkably complex nose, combining ripe black fruits, along with hints of roses, lavender, espresso, cinnamon, tea, and minerals. On the palate, it boasts exceptional concentration, layer upon layer of impeccably ripened black fruits, a richness that is both sweet and balanced, enhanced by just the right touch of acidity and minerality. A showstopper.
