Tasting Notes

87-89
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jan 14
Pale red. Pungent aromas and flavors of red cherry, minerals and flowers. Juicy and urgent, showing lovely precision and cut. These very ripe vines were picked on the first day of the harvest, noted Eric Rousseau. Finishes with good gripping tannins. Rousseau's village wine is far more concentrated than it was just five or six years ago.

These wines are known for bold flavours, complex aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrants, truffles, and spices, with robust structure and excellent ageing potential. The appellation includes nine Grand Cru vineyards, notably Chambertin and Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. Top producers like Domaine Armand Rousseau, Domaine Fourrier, and Domaine Denis Mortet craft wines that reflect the unique terroir and tradition of Gevrey-Chambertin.
