Burghound, January 2013

Somewhat ironically, this is both more elegant and fresher than the Clos de Bèze with one of the most complex noses of the entire vintage as it combines a seemingly endless array of spice, mineral, fruit and Gevrey...

View From The Cellar, November 2011

The 2010 Rousseau Chambertin is a profound young wine by any measure. The deep, pure, very floral and utterly refined nose offers up a regal blend of red plums, cherries, blood orange, roses, coffee, violets, abrilliantly...

The 2010 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin is a distinguished Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, specifically hailing from the Cote de Nuits sub-region in the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. This wine is a product of Domaine Armand Rousseau, a producer known for crafting high-quality wines. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this red wine is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

This vintage has received remarkable acclaim from professional reviewers, with Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarding it a score of 97 points. The review highlights the wine's "polish and sheer elegance," noting its "fabulous overall sense of harmony." The integration of fruit, tannins, and oak is described as "beyond impeccable," with a finish characterized by "dark red berries, licorice and sweet spices" (Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, 2011). The anticipated maturity for this wine is projected between 2025 and 2050, suggesting it will continue to develop in complexity with time.

Vinous rates this wine even higher, with a score of 98 points. The review describes the wine as "almost shockingly silky in the mouth," featuring "pungent aromas of wild red berries, smoke, earth, iron and wild herbs." The wine is noted for its "crushed-stone minerality," which adds depth to its "blackberry, licorice and earth flavors." The finish is described as "explosive" and "endless," a testament to its potential to leave a lasting impression (Vinous, 2013). Stephen Tanzer from Vinous anticipates that with further aging, the wine could merit a perfect score.

Overall, the 2010 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin is recognized as a monumental wine from its vintage, promising continued evolution and complexity over the years.
