2022 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru

Domaine Armand Rousseau sets the bar for Gevrey-Chambertin and is by any measure one of the greatest domaines in Burgundy. Their holdings include parcels in six of the Gevrey grand cru vineyards, along with the largest slice of premier cru Clos St-Jacques. Of course, the big two of Chambertin and Chambertin Clos des Beze get much of the attention, quality has been on the rise in each of the remaining vineyards, and there's no dead weight among their enviable selection today.

Other Reviews....
A more restrained, and less oak-inflected, nose somewhat grudgingly offers up its array of airy red cherry, dark currant, just turned earth, the sauvage and a dazzling array of spice elements. The mouthfeel of the equally tautly muscular broad-shouldered flavors is strikingly refined thanks to the dense but exceptionally fine-grained tannins shaping the superbly persistent finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. This is without question one of the stars of the 2022 vintage. Drink through 2037+.

Aromas of sweet raspberries and cherries mingling with notions of orange zest, incense and spices in a complex bouquet introduce Rousseau's 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru, a full-bodied, deep and layered wine that's concentrated, precise and penetrating. It's one of the least evolved wines in the cellar, but it's very fine-boned for such a warm vintage.

William Kelley - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru conveys a sense of grandeur on the nose, leaning slightly more towards red than black fruit, very harmonious and complex, with pressed flower scents filtering through with aeration. It is difficult to drag your nose away from the glass. The medium-bodied palate has very finely sculpted tannins and great depth with a smoothly textured, lightly spiced finish that lingers very long in the mouth. Superb. Drink 2027-2065.

Neal Martin - Vinous

The 2022 Chambertin is a monumental wine with supremely ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis fruit loaded with spice and floral notes. There is an immense depth of flavour and a superbly dense and compact texture. As the wine sits in the glass, it seems almost infinitely complex. This tightly wound wine is not as generous as the Clos de Bèze. The truth is that the Bèze is perhaps more immediately engaging, while the Chambertin has more substance and ultimate potential. However, both wines will probably outlive anyone tasting them today since they seem set to age for a century. Drink 2035-2100.

A glowing crimson purple. The bouquet has all the civilised sensuality one could hope for. A glorious and classic Rousseau Chambertin nose. Here the very slight dryness will certainly be swallowed up. The weight of fruit on the palate will see to that. A surge of dense dark strawberry fruit completes the deal Drink from 2035-2050.
