Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2001 0,75L

Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Vieilles Vignes 2001 is an exceptional Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most prestigious producers. Sourced from old vines (Vieilles Vignes) in the Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru vineyard, this wine showcases the depth, elegance, and complexity characteristic of both the terroir and the domaine’s winemaking expertise.

The 2001 vintage was marked by a cooler growing season, resulting in wines of refinement, balance, and aging potential. This wine displays a brilliant ruby-red color with slight garnet reflections, indicating its graceful evolution.

On the nose, it exudes an elegant and layered bouquet of red and dark berries (raspberries, cherries, blackberries), dried rose petals, earthy forest floor, and subtle hints of spice (clove, cinnamon), alongside delicate oak influence and a touch of truffle.

The palate is silky yet structured, with finely integrated tannins and a lively acidity that gives the wine a lifted, fresh quality. Flavors of red fruits, black tea, mineral notes, and soft spice develop into a long, refined finish with a lingering sense of terroir-driven complexity.

This Grand Cru wine is drinking beautifully now, offering graceful maturity, but still has the potential to age further. It pairs excellently with duck, roasted game, truffle-infused dishes, and aged cheeses, emphasizing its depth and sophistication.
