Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru
Saturated, bright dark red knockout soil-inflected aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry, mocha and gibiers, with the wine's 100% new oak element nicely integrated, it boasts outstanding sucrosité for the vintage but strong saline minerality and firm acidity perfectly counterpoint the wine's sweetness This very large-scaled, densely packed wine spreads out horizontally on the inexorable rising finish, saturating the palate with a fine dusting of tannins and shimmering minerality This stunning Clos de Bèze has all the elements for greatness. 96+ points.

Domaine Armand Rousseau is without a doubt one of the most famous and greatest domaines in Burgundy, producing impeccable quality wines from vintage to vintage, renowned for their great elegance and stamina. Their wines are some of the most collectible in the world and the domaine consistently helps to place Burgundy at the top of the wine world. Usually mentioned in the same breadth as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Leroy, Armand Rousseau has established itself as a legendary producer owning mostly Grand Cru vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin.
Clive Coates MW - “There are few finer domaines in the Côte D’Or than that of Armand Rousseau. With land in Le Chambertin itself, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Mazis, Charmes, Clos Saint Jacques, Cazetiers and Lavaux-Saint-Jacques, all in Gevrey, as well as in Clos de la Roche in Morey-Saint-Denis, this 14 hectare estate can boast some of the finest sites in the northern part of the Côte. The vines are old, the rendement low, and the wine-making perfectionistic – and the wines themselves are stunning.”

The 2014 Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru has a seductive bouquet with pure raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, woodland scents and a touch of something sweet deep down underneath...white chocolate maybe? The palate is medium-bodied with very refined, supple tannin. The acidity cuts through the red berry fruit and then a healthy dose of black pepper comes towards the finish that has a slight bitter cherry edge. This is superb...(NM)
Deliciously sweet and spiced black fruit -- very tense but still with a silky texture and mineral finish. This seems firm at first but opens up with great finesse.
100% new oak. Intense, splendidly purple somehow nose. Black fruits and liqueur-like. Lots of structure and very embryonic. The oak is still pretty obvious. Great framework. Energy. 18.5/20 points (JR)
