There are few finer domaines in the Côte D’Or than that of Armand Rousseau, and this magnum bottle of the 2006 Chambertin-Clos-de-Bèze is a living proof of their high standards in winemaking. The nose is filled with cherries and red berries, followed by earthy and mineral tones, meat and spices. The palate presents soft tannins, melting acidity, all draped like a silken robe over pure and transparent flavours, with notes of red cherries, spices and minerality.

Vinous
Deep, bright red. Black raspberry, game and smoke on the nose. Fat and sweet on entry, then quite dry and backward in the middle, with a distinctly medicinal quality currently dominating the wine's underlying fruit. This boasts impressive volume but I'm troubled by its rather dry-edged tannins. Hard to taste today. I note that a year ago Eric Rousseau pointed out that the wine began its life quite disjointed.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2009
