The 2019 vintage in Burgundy is widely considered excellent, even legendary, for red wines, combining seductive depth of fruit with classical acidity and structure for long-term aging. Despite a challenging growing season with mild winter, chilly spring frosts, uneven flowering, and intense summer heat, the resulting concentrated berries produced superb wines. William Kelley of Wine Advocate described the 2019 red Burgundies as "brilliant" and among the most compelling red Burgundy vintages of the millennium. The Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru 2019 is noted for its clear, pure fruit with a slightly darker character and important mineral/earthy notes. Tasting notes reveal dark berry fruit, sous-bois, light floral scents of iris petal and violet, with a medium-bodied palate, powdery texture, and a classically-styled finish. William Kelley also noted scents of sweet berry fruit, smoked meats, rich soil tones, peonies, and mandarin orange, describing it as fleshy and enveloping with fine depth, lively acids, and velvety tannins. Food pairing suggestions for this savory and classic Pinot Noir include duck, goose, and game birds. This wine is perfect for a celebratory dinner or a special occasion where a truly exceptional and age-worthy red Burgundy is desired. 【One of the most compelling red Burgundy vintages of the millennium】
