"Tasted blind at the annual 'Burgfest' tasting in Beaune. The 2012 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a scintillating, effervescent nose, the new oak beautifully interwoven into the complex red cherry, raspberry and pomegranate scents. There is wonderful definition here. The palate is very well balanced with well judged acidity that cuts a swathe through the structured red berry fruit. This is a serious Clos-de-Bèze reserved for long-term ageing. Quite brilliant."

Domaine Armand Rousseau, nestled in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, stands as one of the most revered and storied estates in Burgundy. Founded in the early 20th century and now under the careful hand of Éric Rousseau, the domaine cultivates its vineyards with a profound respect for tradition and nature. Their approach is one of subtlety and restraint, allowing the voice of the terroir to emerge, as though each vine were an instrument in a delicate symphony. The wines from Rousseau are known for their finesse and poise, capturing the essence of each vintage while quietly echoing the history of this revered region. Rousseau’s creations transcend the temporal world, their fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity recalling the work of Gothic cathedrals, standing tall and refined for centuries.

Domaine Armand Rousseau wines are pre-sale with expected arrival of end of year.
