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-Clos de Bèze
Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: This seems to have changed very little in the past 10 years and it would be fair to describe its evolution as glacial as the ripe but exuberantly fresh nose is even spicier than that of the '05 Chambertin (see herein) with kaleidoscopic breadth and depth. Like its stablemate this is a big and imposingly-scaled effort that possesses outstanding mid-palate concentration as the tannin-buffering sap completely coats the mouth on the explosively long, muscular and powerful finale. Despite the strikingly good size, weight and punch this remains a beautifully well-balanced effort that will need at least another 10 years of cellar time because even though it's not quite as structured and backward as the Cham, it is nowhere close to being ready for prime time. That said, it should be genuinely breathtaking when it finally arrives at its apogee. Tasted twice in the last year with consistent results.
BH Score: 98
