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 2009 Chambertin
Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: This is also ultra-pure and densely fruited with notes of anise, mint, wet stone and a sauvage hint that introduces intensely earthy and mineral-driven big-bodied flavors that are rich, powerful, serious and densely concentrated, all wrapped in a silky, palate staining, explosive and colossally persistent finish. This is actually relatively expressive and approachable for a young Cham yet the balance and harmony is present for this to age for decades. A brilliant effort and one of the best vintages ever for this justifiably revered wine.
