For four generations, the Rousseau family has worked tirelessly and passionately on some of the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. The grapes for this Chambertin Grand Cru come from three vineyards in the east-facing Chambertin appellation, and from a fourth vineyard, ‘Larrey’, a north-south parcel at the edge of the woods. Powerful, virile, concentrated with good structure. A wonderfully persistent mouthfeel with aromas of chocolate, liquorice and small red fruits. Here is the 2011 vintage in luxurious magnum format.

Vinous
The 2011 Chambertin Grand Cru is consistent with the previous bottle that I tasted blind in 2014, although I find no reduction now. I maintain that it is a little more feral than other recent vintages with black plum, leather and sous-bois, displaying more amplitude than before. The palate is well balanced but backward, very well structured for a 2011 with tertiary notes mixed with tobacco surfacing towards the finish, that gently keeps rollin' and rollin' across the senses. Marvellous, but give it another couple of years. Tasted at Bistro de l'Hôtel in Beaune. Neal Martin1st May 2019
