Domaine Armand Rousseau Charmes-Chambertin 2019 is a Grand Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from one of the leading domaines in the Côte de Nuits. Typically the wine comprises grapes from two parcels of Charmes-Chambertin and one parcel of Mazoyères-Chambertin. The 2020 vintage is made up of two-thirds Mazoyères. "The 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru is turning out nicely, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet berry fruit and plums complemented by hints of smoked meats, preserved citrus, warm spices and raw cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, it`s pretty and fine-boned, with good depth at the core, velvety tannins and a seamless, enveloping profile. This is another cuvée that I suspect will turn out to be Rousseau`s finest rendition since at least 2012." Wine Advocate, 2021
