The Story

Chambertin – Domaine Armand Rousseau

Chambertin gained a reputation from the patronage of Napoleon I, who is rumoured not to have drunk anything else and watered down his Chambertin with plenty of water. He favoured it at five to six years old and never drank more than half a bottle with a meal. When the ex-Emperor was exiled on St. Helena, he was forced to drink claret, since that was easier to ship to the isolated island.

Wine Information

Chambertin – Domaine Armand Rousseau

The Domaine was started at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau who, at his majority, inherited several plots of vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin. The Domaine premises with the living house, the storing places, the cellars and the winery, are situated in the oldest part of the village, near the 13th century church.

From 1959, after Armand Rousseau's death, Charles Rousseau was at the he...

Vuosikerta 1996

1996 VINTAGE in Burgundy

Maturity levels were in general high following a long hot summer. The wines from the famous Pinot Noir have an intense ruby red colour with lush red fruit aromas. They are wines that are comparable with the outstanding 88s and 89s. The whites are just as outstanding full-bodied with elegant vibrant Chardonnay fruit and sweet white flower and grilled nut aromas. These are wines that have the potential to age magnific...

Slightly less depth of color than the Clos de Beze. Three-dimensional tangy, sappy aromas of framboise, smoke and spices; vibrant, perfumed and deep. Stuffed with vibrant, spicy fruit. Dense, tactile, urgent and sturdy. Firmer on the back end than the Clos de Beze; the finishing flavor begins later, then goes on and on. The yield here was lower than that of the Clos de Beze. 92-95

Fine and fresh. Not luscious. Still lots of 1996 almost green acidity. Not a wine to wallow in but very fragrant.

In its youth this possessed one of the most amazingly complex panoply of aromas that one could imagine and it's still remarkably youthful and even today there is only a trace of secondary character on the ripe and ultra-fresh nose of various red berries, earth, bitter chocolate and anise hints. There is superbly intensity to the full-bodied and keenly focused flavors that, like the '96 Bèze (see herein) are not especially dense but do lead to a beautifully textured finish that simply goes on and on and with no hint of dryness. Note that while this could certainly be enjoyed now at almost 20 years of age, I will continue to hold my small remaining stash for another 7 to 10 years first. While not among the best examples of Chambertin the domaine has ever made, it is among the great wines of the '96 vintage. Tasted multiple times with consistent notes and twice in 2016.

Fullish colour. Some developement. Still quite closed on the nose. Firm, full body, very good tannins, but these are not quite resolved at present. Lots of depth, dimension and energy. Very fine.
