2009 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 95

The 2009 Chambertin Grand Cru is relatively youthful in appearance. It has a vibrant nose with kirsch, orange sorbet, rose petals and light Earl Grey aromas. It becomes increasingly floral and complex in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with an attractive tertiary quality and a healthy white pepper dose. Very harmonious with a touch of chalkiness. I would have liked more depth, though real elegance is in situ and seems to grow in the glass. Tasted at the 2009 horizontal at Club 1243. [Neal Martin, 30/03/2023]

Robert Parker 95

The 2009 Chambertin is breathtaking in its beauty. It boasts gorgeous textural depth and richness in its eternal, endless layers of fruit. This is a totally seamless wine that captures the style of the year and the personality of the vineyard. A sweet note of cassis lingers on the finessed finish. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.
