FEATURES
The Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 2019 hails from a legendary estate in Gevrey-Chambertin, renowned for crafting Burgundy wines of ultimate purity, finesse, and profound expression of terroir. Clos de la Roche, a Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis, is a unique holding for Rousseau, being their only appellation outside Gevrey-Chambertin. This vineyard, with its southern exposure and mineral-laden soil, consistently yields wines of great concentration and purity, often showing maturity earlier than its neighboring crus. The 2019 vintage is particularly noted for its harmonious balance of maturity and freshness. Domaine Armand Rousseau is globally sought after by serious wine collectors due to its impeccable quality and limited production.
Tasting notes describe rich aromas of berry fruit, loamy soil, peonies, dark chocolate, and cedar. It presents as medium to full-bodied, fleshy, and elegantly muscular, with a generous and enveloping character, velvety tannins, and fine depth at its core. The nose is highly perfumed, offering an irresistible mixture of red and subtle blue fruit, exquisitely defined and harmonious. Expect a minerally, complex, and powerful wine, with abundant red berry fruit, hints of thyme and mint, spicy, smooth tannins, and a touch of tobacco, culminating in a long, firm, and very consistent finish.
Food pairing suggestions include classic matches like duck, goose, and various game birds. It also pairs beautifully with beef and venison.
This highly prestigious and collectible wine is perfect for significant celebrations, fine dining, or as the centerpiece of a serious wine tasting. It is a wine that should easily repay two decades of cellaring, making it an excellent investment for patient enthusiasts. 【Ultimate purity and expression of terroir】
