2017 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin
Other Reviews....
Unfurling in the glass with notes of raw cocoa, blackcurrants, sweet spices, vanilla pod and cedary oak, Rousseau's 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village is medium to full-bodied, supple and velvety, with succulent acids and powdery structuring tannins, concluding with an expansive, lactone-inflected finish. It's deeper and richer than I perceived it to be when I tasted it 2018, but it's also surprisingly strongly marked by its time in barrel—especially since this cuvée sees no new oak. Drink 2026-2050.

The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Village offers brambly red berry fruit on the nose, hints of crushed stone that percolate through with aeration. The palate is more cohesive and fleshier than the Clos du Château: tart red berry fruit, black pepper and a light sous-bois note on the finish. This should be approachable after two or three years. I find this a step ahead of the Clos du Château this year. Drink 2021-2030.

The palish pink purple colour has a touch more energy here compared to the chateau. Slightly fresher and deeper raspberry fruit. Great energy of fruit, not too much weight but just right, very perfumed, deep cherries and excellent persistence. Bravo.
