Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of the shining stars of Burgundy and the wines are by far some of the most collectible in the world. The Chambertin is produced from four prime plots spanning 2.54ha of the prestigious Grand Cru. The 1999 is medium to full-bodied, rich in fruit and has outstanding depth of flavour.

Vinous
The 1999 Chambertin Grand Cru has a multi-faceted bouquet, a mélange of red and black fruit, sous-bois, desiccated orange peel and wilted rose petals. It simply blossoms in the glass, gaining complexity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, plenty of lift and energy, full of breeding from start to finish. Gentle grip, more youthful than the 1996 yet with the same stature, there is wonderful persistence. Unlike the 1996, this 1999 Chambertin is clearly still in the ascendency, though the bottle drunk in Hong Kong was marginally superior. Tasted at the Rousseau Chambertin vertical at La Vienne.Neal Martin21st June 2022
