Product details
Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 is a distinguished expression from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most historic domaines. The Chambertin parcels are spread across several sites, including east-facing plots and the Larrey parcel near the edge of the woods. Their limestone-rich soils contribute to the structure and character associated with this celebrated Grand Cru. Where the vineyard layout limits mechanization, the soil is worked with a horse and plow, reflecting the domaine’s careful attention to its land. The 2018 vintage presents a concentrated, firmly structured profile with notable depth and persistence.
The tasting profile is powerful and well-built, combining density with an elegant sense of structure. Notes of chocolate, licorice, and small red berries emerge alongside a vigorous, persistent character, while the firm framework gives the finish considerable length.
