ARMAND ROUSSEAU
Armand Rousseau represents the form of the martial tread of Chambertin, and a property that has gone from strength to strength over the decades without many of the downturns experienced by other top proprieties. After his fathers passing in 1959, Charles Rousseau maintained the consistency of the property despite economic and climatic fluctuations. It is an education of what great wine is all about to taste the Chambertin and Chambertin, Clos de Beze, side by side from the same vintage. Both wines are super dense, finish very long and unwind in surprising tangents of complexity as they age in the bottle and air in the glass. Perhaps the most distinctive and alluring wine of Rousseau is the Clos St. Jacques, from which I always pick up notes of green peppercorns and white chocolate. It is stunningly beautiful, always easy to pick out in a blind tasting and definitely has grand class and delineation.
