Armand Rousseau 幾乎坐擁 Gevrey 村內所有最知名的葡萄園。在其擁有的14公頃地中,特級葡萄園就佔了8.1公頃,反而是村莊級地塊佔地最小,僅2.2公頃,不知羨煞多少人。其中最知名的當是頂級園 Chambertin和 Chambertin Clos de Beze,在此兩名酒之下則是品質媲美頂級園的一級酒 Clos St Jacques,擁有深沉的口感與清雅的酸度。Armand Rousseau 並未釀造 Bourgogne,唯一的一款村莊等級的 Gevrey Chambertin 即是酒廠的入門酒款。
Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils 2005 Chambertin
Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: I was frankly quite surprised to find the Chambertin almost as expressive and every bit as broad aromatically as the Bèze as the nose is equally kaleidoscopic if featuring a more deeply pitched set of fruit aromas and more earth. The flavors are bigger if not finer with serious power and weight on the rich, full and driving finish that possesses an exuberant underlying sense of energy, all wrapped in a core of rock solid but ripe and balanced tannins. Like the potential of the Bèze, this too has a chance to ascend as one of the top vintages ever typified by such years as '34, '49, '52, '62, '66 and '91. Arguably the Chambertin of the vintage.
