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 2007 Chambertin
Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: By contrast to the Clos St. Jacques and the Bèze, the Cham has already eaten its wood which allows free rein for the spicy, pure, elegant and restrained earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample mineral notes to dissolve seamlessly into dusty, textured, precise and palate staining big-bodied flavors that are exceptionally tight on the linear but hugely long finish. At present, the Bèze appears to have slightly better underlying material but we'll see in time as both are sensational plus the Cham has a long demonstrated ability to add weight in bottle.
