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。

Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: Once again subtle reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background so I recommended decanting it for those of you who can't wait at least 5 years to try a bottle. There is even more size, weight and intensity to the velvety, powerful and opulent big-bodied flavors that possess an abundance of palate soaking dry extract that pushes the otherwise tightly coiled tannins to the background on the massively long coffee-inflected finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This is very firmly structured but actually a bit less austere than it usually is and thanks to the abundant dry extract might be approachable a bit sooner than usual too. In short, this brilliant effort is one of the greatest wines of the 2013 vintage.
