The 2002 Chambertin from Domaine Armand Rousseau is a delightful and refined effort. In the bouquet layers of airy red berry fruit with hints of sous-bois – still quite youthful but very refined and subtle. On the palate rich, crisp and cool fruit – refined and elegant with a very fine midpalate intensity – good weight and concentration but still very airy and delicate for a Chambertin. Love the effortless refinement and admire the intensity – a gorgeous Chambertin in the making. Enjoyable now – but need 10 years more to unfold the full potential.
