Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin-Clos de Bèze 2021 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from a cool and classic vintage that required meticulous work in the vineyard. The 2021 release marks a return to a more traditional Burgundian profile, featuring lower alcohol levels and a high-toned aromatic lift. The fruit is bright and crystalline, showing notes of pomegranate, cranberry and wild flowers, underscored by a sharp mineral precision. The palate is leaner and more linear than the preceding solar vintages, yet it possesses a density and persistence that are hallmarks of the Rousseau estate.
