Domaine Armand Rousseau is the largest landowner of the Chambertin vineyard with a total area of 2.2 hectares. Burgundy writer Clive Coates refers to this Grand Cru as perhaps the finest red wine in the world, producing less that 60,000 bottles per year. Here in rare magnum format from the historic 1989 vintage.

Vinous
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
