Rousseau's 2020 Chambertin Grand Cru is brilliant, unwinding in the glass with aromas of wild berries, orange rind, plums, exotic spices, Egyptian musk, woodsmoke and rose petals. Full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, it's deep and tightly wound, with striking intensity and energy. Still very primary, even after a year's élevage, it will require patience, but it's a magical Chambertin in the making.
The 2018 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with a complex bouquet of red berries, plums, rose petals and orange rind, framed by bass notes of rich, loamy soil and carnal nuances of smoked meats. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's layered and concentrated, its expansive attack segueing into a richly structured but impressively vibrant mid-palate, concluding with a long, resonant finish. This is a brilliant wine that readers should plan on forgetting for at least a decade.
99 Points - The Wine Advocate1985 - "This incredible wine left a table of Burgundy lovers in awe. A heavenly nose of indescribably purity and charm…Pinot Noir in excelsis! Entrancing, bewitching, haunting: all these words are applicable. The aromatics evolve a slight ferrous scents after time in the glass. The palate does not disappoint with sublime harmony and balance, an effortless nature and surprisingly youthful and vivacious. Ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, a tangible minerality with a silky finish with brilliant delineation. Certainly one of the greatest 1985 Burgundy wines that I have encountered, indeed one the greatest wines to have passed my lips! (NM-Wine Journal)" Robert Parker
