Domaine Armand RousseauGevrey-Chambertin Clos du Chateau 2016
About this product
In 2012, Macau-based investor and Burgundy aficionado Louis Ng purchased the 13th century Benedictine Château de Gevrey-Chambertin that included a 1.36ha Gevrey Chambertin village monopole, a 0.30 ha plot of Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 1er and a 0.11 ha plot of Charmes Chambertin. The same year Eric Rousseau signed a long term contract to look after the vines,which are being farmed biodynamically, and make the wines. The first vintage of the village Clos du Château was 2013 and there is an old vine creaminess together with soft tannins that make this a great addition to the Rousseau portfolio.
Eric Rousseau charmingly described the style of the 2016 vintage as "being softer and more typical than 2015. It's like your best friend in the sense that you can always count on it to drink well early, late and in-between".

This expressive red shows density and a core of pure, ripe cherry flavors. The bracing acidity keeps this focused, while accents of incense, cardamom and cumin add depth and interest. Balanced and lingering, with well-integrated tannins on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2036.
