2014 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru

This is the ultimate pinnacle of Côte de Nuits royalty: the Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru 2014. As the undisputed benchmark master of Gevrey-Chambertin, Domaine Armand Rousseau crafts Chambertin of majestic sovereign power, sheer aristocratic finesse, and profound longevity. The classic 2014 Burgundy vintage produced wines of benchmark transparency, vibrant energy, and aromatic purity, allowing the site's regal limestone terroir to shine through with laser focus. The nose opens with an intoxicating, perfumed bouquet of ripe wild strawberries, black cherries, and fresh pomegranate, seamlessly laced with crushed rose petals, blood orange zest, sous-bois forest floor, iron minerality, and exotic spice box complexity. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet weightless and ethereal, delivering multidimensional depth, seamless fine-grained tannins, and an electric mineral drive that carries into an extraordinarily long, resonant finish.
