Domaine Armand Rousseau 阿曼

★
Armand Rousseau 被稱為「香貝丹之王」，身為 Gevrey Chambertin 村莊最具代表性酒廠之一，地位有如 Vosne Romanee 村莊的 DRC，其出名的頂級酒 2005 Chambertin 與 2005 Romanee-Conti 同樣榮獲 Burghound 99高分。
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 2006 Ruchottes Chambertin

Grand Cru Red 

A deep sweetness of dark cherry fruit and of marrow-like as well as roasted game meatiness sets the Rousseau 2006 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes apart from the wines that preceded it in his collection, and while there is a stony undertone here, the sense of sweetness and rich meatiness dominates through the sustained, savory finish. The refinement, invigoration, and minerality that distinguish the Clos de la Roche are here replaced by a more robustly-structured, overtly ripe, but by no means coarsely tannic personality. I suspect that more mineral dimensions will emerge after a few years in bottle, and this should be fascinating to follow for at least 6-8.
