"The 2012 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has an exquisite bouquet with fragrant wild strawberry, bergamot and forest floor that simmers with tension, subtle touches of cassis unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, slightly chalky tannins, over a layer of effervescent candied fruit – mandarin and apricot enriching the finish. This is such a pretty thing, surely destined to be irresistible in its youth."

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.
