2001 Rousseau Armand Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze

By on June 30, 2003 #asides

Deep cherry colour. Very subdued nose, faint cherry perhaps. Intense fruit on the palate with good acidity and medium-plus tannins. This is lovely.

Medium-plus cherry with some purple. Understated nose but has lovely purity if you swirl enough. Again concentrated fruit here. Good acidity and full tannins, Even more concentrated than the last wine. Also very fine.

Medium-plus cherry. Subdued nose again, but sweet cherry pies in the background. This has lovely fruit. Good tannins and long acidity. Fine.

Medium cherry. Very obvious, unsubtle oak on the nose, but there is something sweet and red behind this wall. The oak is a little less obvious on the palate, nice mouthfeel with very good fruit. Still a good wine.

Medium cherry. Nose is more reticent than the preceding wines. Lovely fruit lingering with the tannin. Also long and lovely.

Medium-plus cherry with some purple. This has deeper more ‘cooked’ fruit than the previous Chambertins. But still excellent structure. Very good.

Darker cherry. Very lovely high toned nose. Lovely fruit with medium-plus tannins and good acidity. Almost creamy fruit. Another fine effort.

Medium-plus cherry. Whilst quite reticent, this is still a nose to fall into. Lovely very pure fruit with medium-plus tannins and very good acidity. I liked this a lot – Fine.

Burgundy Report

is special because...

Although this site has to support itself, and its author, everything in these pages is eventually free to view. With 350-400 domaine visits and many blind tastings per year, you won’t find that level of coverage and openness elsewhere!

I don’t ‘score‘ but I do actually recommend which wines to buy from which estates – instead of hiding behind an anonymous 94/100 score – does that mean buy or not? We should be told!

The monthly reports for subscribers reverts to ‘free-access’ after a little more than two years, because the whole ethos of Burgundy is sharing – Burgundy Report too – in this case, sharing the passion…
