ARMAND ROUSSEAU'S STUNNING CHAMBERTIN

VINTAGE 1945 *****

A great vintage. Though the war in Europe had ended earlier in the year, labour problems and shortages continued. In the vineyards, the major setback was severe frosts in March and April, otherwise the unaffected vines benefited from a beautiful spring with flowering beginning 20 May (the earliest start between 1940 and 1977) and completed rapidly. On 21 June a sudden and severe cyclone ravaged ten of the principal villages in the Côte de Beaune. The ensuing summer was hot but dry. The result of 'nature's pruning' and low rainfall resulted in a small crop of high quality, concentrated grapes. MB, Vintage Wine
