2015 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru

Other Reviews....
Here too there is just enough oak to mention but once again it's not really enough to impair the purity of the distinctly cool and ultra-spicy red currant, underbrush, sandalwood, lilac and plenty of earth aromas. The rich, intense and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors possess a similar level of minerality that is borderline pungent and it informs the explosively long, firm and very serious finish. This notably powerful, but not really austere effort, displays magnificent potential and if it develops its usual degree of complexity over time it should merit the upper end of my projected range. But as structured and firm as it is, I suspect that this will drink well after only 6 to 8 years of age thanks to the incredible abundance of dry extract.

Bright medium red. Very pure but very reticent nose hints at blueberry, raspberry, licorice, game and woodsmoke. Delivers a compelling combination of fine-grained texture, deep sweetness and restrained power; still youthfully compressed but already boasts thrilling mouthfilling perfume of tart red fruits, spices and saline minerality. This spectacular Chambertin broadens out on the back half without giving any impression of weight. A wine of uncommon depth and class, with no sign of overripeness. With its salty, crushed-rock minerality, this wine saturates every square millimeter of the palate and stimulates the salivary glands on the sensationally long finish.

The 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru is a monument in the making, offering up a profound bouquet of sweet red and black fruit, caramelized orange rind, smoke, grilled meat and rich spice, framed by cedary new oak. On the palate, the wine is very full-bodied, multidimensional and complete, with immense concentration, a bright line of acidity and an ample chassis of fine-grained tannins. While there's not much to choose between this and the Clos de Bèze, the Chambertin is marginally deeper, fuller-bodied and more harmonious, and it appears to have a slight edge. Cyrielle Rousseau exhorted me to score this wine with an "X"—to indicate that it should be forgotten in the cellar for two decades, and I encourage anyone lucky enough to acquire a few bottles to heed that sage advice, as the 2015's structural abundance makes it decidedly ill-fitted to near-term consumption.
