Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin Grand Cru, 2022
Armand Rousseau was among the first to estate-bottle in Burgundy, and three generations later, Eric Rousseau continues to produce what many consider the definitive expression of Chambertin. One hundred percent Pinot Noir from Grand Cru rocky limestone soils, organically farmed, ninety percent destemmed, and fermented 18-20 days. The 2022 is described as monumental: supremely ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis loaded with spice and floral notes, with finely sculpted tannins and remarkable depth. This is Grand Cru not as showiness but as commitment to place. Hold until 2027 at minimum; it will reward patience through 2065 and beyond.
