Domaine Armand Rousseau, Pinot Noir, Chambertin Grand Cru, Gevrey-Chambertin, C么te de Nuits, Burgundy, France 2019
Domaine Armand Rousseau is the largest landowner of the Chambertin vineyard with a total of 5.3 acres. The 32 acres of Chambertin Grand Cru represent some of the finest and most storied Pinot Noir acreage on the planet and with all producers included typically produces less than 60,000 bottles. Chambertin is the beating heart of the red Grand Crus of the C么te d鈥橭r sitting high on the hillside and bordered by Latrici猫res-Chambertin to the south and Clos-de-B猫ze to the north.
Grapes are meticulously sorted as they arrive in the winery. Following a cool maceration the must travels by gravity into barrel where it will stay for the entire vinification process lasting typically 18-24 months. Each Armand Rousseau wine is blended unfiltered.
Burgundy writer Clive Coates refers to this Grand Cru as perhaps the finest red wine in the world. Always a tour de force, this wine has uncanny balance. It is very structured, dense, and powerful, it has firm, ripe tannins, yet it is not heavy. It has uncommonly long length on the palate.
The U.S. market receives less than 50 cases of this rare wine.
Producer: Armand Rousseau
