🏰 The 2017 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru is hailed as a glorious success, showing beautifully and representing one of Rousseau's finest vintages since 2012 or even 2010. The 2017 Burgundy vintage was generally very good, with vines recovering from the challenging 2016 season. Yields were around 35 hectoliters per hectare, and it was notable as the second vintage where no chaptalization was needed due to elevated maturities. This majestic red offers succulent cherry, raspberry, and rose aromas and flavors, framed by vanilla and toasty oak. It is concentrated yet lithe and fruity, with an intense sappiness to the texture. Expressive aromas of sweet red berry fruit, smoked meats, coniferous forest floor, mandarin orange, and peonies are present, framed by a deft application of cedary, spicy new oak. The wine is spicy, focused, and refined, with deftly integrated new wood, tangy acidity, and caressing tannins, showcasing a masculine, powerful, and well-built character with great persistence. 【A glorious success, considered one of Rousseau's finest vintages since 2012 or 2010】 🍴 This exquisite Pinot Noir pairs wonderfully with classic game birds such as duck and goose. Its elegance and complexity also make it a superb match for roasted poultry, mushroom-based dishes, or fine, aged cheeses. 🥂 The 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru is a wine for significant celebrations, fine dining experiences, or as a prized addition to a serious wine collection. It is best enjoyed from 2025 through 2050, promising a long and rewarding evolution.
