2001 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 98

This is the finest bottle of Rousseau’s 2001 Chambertin I have ever had. With each taste, the 2001nhas something new to say. At times, it is the aromatics that stand out. In other moments, the wine’s structure, energy and overall complexity are totally alluring. Dark and brooding, with compelling inner sweetness, the 2001 simply can’t be denied. It is utterly profound. It is as simple as that. [Antonio Galloni, 01/08/2017]

Anticipated maturity: 2020-2051

Robert Parker 95

Tasted alongside the 2001 Clos Saint Jacques, the 2001 Chambertin Grand Cru possesses an ethereal, floral bouquet of raspberry jam, Morello cherries, minerals and undergrowth, gaining in intensity all the time in the glass. The palate is very natural and refined, in no way a powerful Chambertin, rather one of finesse, grace and purity. Divine. Drink now-2026. Tasted January 2014. [Neal Martin, 04/01/2014]
