Clos de la Roche Armand Rousseau 2012 emerges from the renowned Grand Cru of Gevrey-Chambertin. The nose displays a complex array of earthy notes, intermingled with dark fruits like black cherry and raspberry, enhanced by subtle herbal undertones. On the palate, it presents a robust structure with a firm tannic backbone and an elegant depth of flavour. The finish is lengthy, characterised by a contemplative balance. Armand Rousseau has been producing distinguished Burgundy wines since 1909.
