Chambertin Grand Cru--Vintage 2005
Côte de Nuits, Armand Rousseau
I was frankly quite surprised to find the Chambertin almost as expressive and every bit as broad aromatically as the Beze as the nose is equally kaleidoscopic if featuring a more deeply pitched set of fruit aromas and more earth. The flavors are bigger if not finer with serious power and weight on the rich, full and driving finish that possesses an exuberant underlying sense of energy, all wrapped in a core of rock solid but ripe and balanced tannins. Like the potential of the Beze, this too has a chance to ascend as one of the top vintages ever typified by such years as 34, 49, 52, 62, 66 and 91. Arguably the Chambertin of the vintage.
