Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy`s oldest and most revered family-run wine estates. They own many grand cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as part of the much sought-after premier cru vineyard Clos Saint-Jacques. This 1989 vintage is beautifully evolved. The nose is quite firm, with spicy and earthy notes, also slightly savoury. The palate has rich and complex structure, with plenty of minerality, as well as some phenolic notes. An epic wine.

The 1989 Chambertin Grand Cru has a startling bouquet that is quite gamey and savory in style, a hint of hickory and soy, dark berried fruit with Provençal herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with a silky texture, fine tannins and superb focus. Even though it does not have the complexity of say the 1996 or 2005 Chambertin on the finish, it is blessed with a beguiling symmetry that is irresistible. Given the hint of dryness I would not leave this for an extended period...but what a lovely wine. Tasted at the Rousseau dinner in London. Neal Martin1st May 2019
