Domaine Armand Rousseau 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru

Experience the elegance of Domaine Armand Rousseau 2019 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru – a masterful Burgundy with silky tannins, vibrant red cherry, wild berry, and earthy spice. This Grand Cru radiates finesse, purity, and age-worthy complexity from one of Gevrey’s most legendary producers.

"The Rousseau Charmes is an assemblage of one-third young vines from Charmes, planted in the reddish, iron-bearing soils, along with two-thirds old vines from Mazoyères, which are planted on lighter, limestone-based soils. In 2019, the blend of the two has lovely, ripe cherry fruit, with floral and spice nuance, but not as much mineral quality and less depth on the palate than some." Decanter 94 Points

"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. "  Robert Parker 92-94 Points

"Discreet but perceptible wood sets off pretty and nicely layered aromas of red currant, forest floor, spice and a suggestion of warm earth character. There is excellent intensity to the detailed, palate coating and sappy medium-bodied flavors that are firm, powerful and unusually robust on the refined, focused and sneaky long finish. There is very good size and weight, yet the overall impression is rather one of refinement." Burghound 91 - 94 Points
