The 2005 Charmes-Chambertin from Domaine Armand Rousseau is a classic example of a mature Grand Cru Burgundy from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most revered producers. It reveals complex aromas of ripe red cherry, raspberry, forest floor and delicate spice, with hints of leather and earth. The palate is silky and elegant with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and layered flavours of red and black fruit, subtle oak and a mineral backbone. With great balance and a long, persistent finish, this wine is drinking beautifully now but can still develop further complexity over the next five to 10 years.
