2022 Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru

This is an ultra-premium, highly collected Grand Cru masterpiece from one of the most revered and iconic estates in the entire wine world, Domaine Armand Rousseau. While primarily famous for their legendary Gevrey-Chambertin holdings like Chambertin and Clos-de-Bèze, Rousseau’s parcel in the neighboring village of Morey-Saint-Denis within the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru climate is a massive prize for fine wine experts and serious private collectors. Sourced from ancient, deeply rooted old vines grown on thin, iron-rich limestone soils, this wine is celebrated for its muscular structure, intense savory complexity, and incredible ability to cellar for decades.
