2020 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin Grand Cru 1x750ml

Vinous 97

The 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru has a touch of reduction but that soon dissipated to reveal intense black and red fruit, half and half really, crushed rock (sea cave), a very subtle marine influence the develops with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, taut and fresh, closing in a little on the finish although I think that is due to the coolness creeping in within the cellar. This is already imbued with a tantalizing sense of magnificence – but would you expect anything less? [Neal Martin, 16/12/2021]
