This consignor became interested in wine after attending a Burgundy tasting in 2005, completely baffled by how different the wines were. They have been a casual collector ever since, sourcing most of their bottles in Alberta, along with some from the SAQ. All bottles were acquired directly from importers, and have been stored in one of their two Eurocaves.
2016 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - BurgHound.com 99 points, Wine Spectator 99 points, The Wine Advocate 98 points. This is the tasting note for 2016 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - As is often the case, this is more restrained than the Bèze and more deeply pitched as well with its cooler array of strikingly spicy red and dark currant aromas that are more heavily cut with freshly turned earth scents along with plenty of floral and sauvage influences, all of which is again trimmed in just enough oak influence to point out. The exceptionally rich, dense and highly energetic full-bodied flavors brim with both dry extract and a pungent minerality on the brilliantly complex and explosively long finish. This is a classic example of power without weight because despite the imposing size of the '16 Chambertin, the overall impression is one of harmony and grace. Among the 'big 4' of the Rousseau line-up, this is the one wine that might just surpass its 2015 equivalent.
