Located in Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Armand Rousseau is formed of just over 15 hectares, over half of which is Grand Cru. `The 2008 Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine Armand Rousseau is a real treat for Burgundy lovers. Reviewed by Robert Parker`s Wine Advocate as follows, `The 2008 Chambertin is rather delicate and almost ethereal in its seductive personality. This is another surprisingly open, expressive 2008. The tannins are elegant, while the wine’s balance is simply terrific.`

Good full red. Brooding nose hints at menthol and crushed stone; less expressive but more elegant than the Clos de Beze. The biggest, richest and deepest of this series, with powerful minerality contributing to the impression of backbone. Offers outstanding richness and intensity without weight and really expands in the mouth, but this will need a minimum of ten years of cellaring to express its flavor potential. Very closed today and not nearly as sweet as the Clos de Beze. The palate-dusting, powerfully mineral finish goes on and on. I suspect this will eventually merit an even higher score.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2011
