1984 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru

Description

The 1984 vintage in Burgundy was notoriously difficult, marked by a cold, wet summer and a late harvest. In such challenging years, the "producer over vintage" rule becomes essential—Armand Rousseau’s meticulous selection and old vines allowed them to craft a wine that far exceeded the general quality of the year.
