Gevrey Chambertin 2005 Armand Rousseau

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (90)

The domaine’s 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin represents a union of fruit from many different parcels south and east of town for which the fruit was de-stemmed. Flatteringly sweetly-fruited, indeed subtly candified on the nose and palate, it offers a roasted underlying meatiness and subtle hints of caramelization continuing with a satisfyingly sweetly-rich, gentle finish. In short, as is the proprietor’s intent, this is “supple and agreeable” not to mention reeking of vintage-typical ripeness.
