Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin 2011

By Steen Öhman November 13, 2012 -

The Chambertin Grand Cru 2011 from Rousseau is a full level up in quality from the Clos de Beze. In the bouquet a refined expression of pinot fruit, terroir and oak - notes of strawberries, forest berries, pomegarnate. The oak is already quite well integrated in the nose and supporting the complex …
