From Chambertin-Clos de Bèze - one of the most prestigious 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 a very long time.
