From Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze – one of the most prestigious grand cru vineyards of the Côte de Nuits – comes this 2003 release from Domaine Armand Rousseau. The wine displays a very expressive nose, including blackberries, black cherries, spices and earthy notes. The rich and full-bodied flavours are relatively supple yet wrapped in dense but fine tannins. It is ready to be enjoyed now but also capable of aging for many years to come.
