2016 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin
Other Reviews....
Tasted from bottle, Rousseau's 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Village opens in the glass with a youthfully reserved bouquet of wild berry fruit, plums, peonies and orange rind mingled with suggestions of forest floor and cedar. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple and sapid, with lively acids, good depth at the core and fine structuring tannins that subtly assert themselves on the finish. Even this communal bottling—which contains declassified premier cru fruit—is quite introverted at this stage, and readers with bottles in their cellars are advised to forget them for the better part of a decade. Drink 2026-2040.

More crimson to the colour than for the Clos du Château, and indeed more depth of fruit to the bouquet. A little crisper on the palate, with a lovely energy through the middle, unexpected density given the easy approach.
