WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru is a hugely complex and age-worthy wine hailing from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. The grapes are sourced from the famed Clos de Beze Grand Cru that borders Le Chambertin vineyard. Following the manual harvest, the grapes are sorted and crushed into barrel for the fermentation and maturation, which lasts around 18-24 months. The wine is typically bottled unfiltered before being released.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru displays a moderate ruby color, indicating its youth and potential for aging.On the nose, the wine is initially reticent suggesting a wine in its infancy. It offers a wide array of ripe red fruits, such as cherries, strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by perfumed floral notes and hints of earthiness. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied wine with a luxuriously silky texture and well-integrated tannins, supported by firm acidity. The flavors are dense and concentrated, with layers of red fruit, complemented by nuances of spices, herbs, and a touch of minerality. The wine's impeccable balance and structure ensure a long and elegant finish that will last long in the memory.
