DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU
Like Bernard Michelot in Meursault, or the late Vincent Leflaive of Puligny, Charles Rousseau embodies the spirit of Burgundian hospitality, linked with a lifetime of superlative wine-making. Although well past retirement age, and now ably assisted by his daughter and son, yet M. Rousseau stays involved with all aspects of this great Domaine's activities (particularly receiving visitors). How to describe this Chambertin ? Corinne, his daughter, believes it perhaps the greatest vintage of the last 2 decades. "Its freshness, fruit and enormous power will give it a longer life than the 1990 or 1999," she feels sure. AH
