Description

2016 Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Cazetiers, 1er Cru, Domaine Armand Rousseau, BurgundyThe Cazetiers may be the most underrated wine in the Rousseau cellar, and its appreciably superior to the Lavaux. Notes of peony, rose petal, griotte cherry and grilled meat precede a full bodied, multidimensional and complete wine with lovely mid palate volume and sappiness. This is ample and generous, but dont discount its capacity to age for two decades. Drinking Window 2026 2050. Decanter

it lacks charm and complexity at this stage of its evolution

The vineyard is high and in the neighbouring commune of Brochon

Arnaud doesn’t use any whole-bunch here

be it the white pepper from the Counoise

Disgorged March 2019

Powerful and concentrated yet very elegant and aromatically complex

culminating in a finish that blends nougat and citrus notes for a generous and complex tasting experience

Attractive red-berry fruits and a touch of floral lift lead on to a palate which has a lovely kernel of sweet-cherry fruit and powdery tannins which melt away on the finish

Tasting at Ch

This wine is still very backward but it will certainly be dark in colour and exceptionally concentrated

Structurally

but this '08 is utterly classic
