Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin Clos de Beze 2011

By Steen Öhman November 13, 2012 -

The Chambertin Clos de Beze 2011 is the most backward wine of the Rousseau lineup - but no doubt well worth waiting for. In the bouquet toasted oak, fine minerality combined with a lovely dark jelly fruit with elements of strawberries, dark cherries, dark forest berries and liquorice. On the palate …

By Steen Öhman November 12, 2012 -

The Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques 2011 from Rousseau is slightly more backward and aloof than the Ruchotte. In the bouquet red and darker forrest berries, currently with a quite strong impression of the new oak. On the palate quite a step up in concentration from the Ruchotte Chambertin, …

The Clos de la Roche is the odd one out in the Rousseau lineup - a beautiful wine - but quite different from the Gevrey wines. In the bouquet red and darker fruit notes - dark cherries and forest berries with hints of vanilla. On the palate deep and pure fruit, more roundly structured and finely …

In the bouquet lovely sophisticated red fruits - strawberries, dark cherries, raspberries and pomegranate jelly. The fruit is beautifully supported by a lovely minerality and a playful acidity. The palate …

By Steen Öhman November 11, 2012 -

The Mazis-Chambertin 2011 Mazis-Chambertin is in my view a step up from the Chames Chambertin. In the nose lovely red and dark forest berries, a slightly dusty minerality and some hints of pomegranate. On the palate more deep fruit on the midpalate - very fine concentration and length. A lovely …
