Lot #218. Armand Rousseau Chambertin 2007

Description: Consists of 9 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 94+ ST.
"Good full red-ruby. More reserved on the nose than the Beze, with terrific sappy verve to its aromas of dark fruits, violet, crushed stone, iron and camphor. Juicy, tightly wound and very intense on first pour, but opened spectacularly in the glass to show outstanding creamy depth without any loss of energy. Today the wine's saline earth tones and minerality have the upper hand over its fruit. There's less easy sweetness here than the Clos de Beze is displaying, but the slow ripening of the vintage is apparent, and the finishing flavors go on and on. It would be a rare (and expensive) treat to try these two wines side by side in 2020 or so." Vinous, Mar 2010
Provenance: The Cisalpine Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $6,500
