The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château from Domaine Armand Rousseau presents a focused bouquet of wild raspberry, cherry and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it reveals a medium structure with a defined acidity, showcasing flavours that echo its aromatic profile. The finish is clean and prolonged, highlighting the wine`s intricacies. This cuvée originates from a monopole vineyard surrounding the Château de Gevrey-Chambertin, solely owned by the Rousseau family.

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château was not tasted at the domaine, but at a private La Paulée, where the owner Louis Ng poured this wine. I include it here for convenience. It has a bright red cherry and crushed strawberry nose laced with orange zest that leaps from the glass. The palate is very well balanced and harnesses the succulence and intensity of the vintage. It might be a village cru, but that does not stop it from exhibiting exuberance and vigor on the finish. Just delicious.
