The 2002 Charmes-Chambertin from Domaine Armand Rousseau is a rich and expressive Grand Cru that combines power with finesse. It offers aromas of ripe red and dark berries, dried herbs, forest floor and gentle spice. On the palate it is full-bodied yet balanced, with silky tannins and bright acidity supporting layered flavours of cherry, plum, earth and subtle oak. The wine shows a mature complexity with hints of leather and truffle emerging, while maintaining freshness and vibrancy. It is drinking well now and will continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years.
