#Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2019

Highly allocated Gem! Domaine Armand Rousseau ranks with Romanée-Conti, Leflaive, Jacques Prieur, and a small handful of names that are the stuff of Burgundy legend. Clos de Bèze was originally planted by the monks of the Abbey of Bèze in 630. The U.S. market receives less than 50 cases of this rare wine.

“The 2018 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has a very well-defined bouquet of red berry fruit laced with undergrowth, rose petals, incense and hints of white pepper; so much vigor here. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins, wonderful tension and great length on the finish. This is a class apart, an intellectual and downright delicious Chambertin that will surely gain even more sophistication during its second winter in barrel. Awesome.”96-98 pts Vinous
