GEVREY CHAMBERTIN 1999 DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU |

Gevrey Chambertin 1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Côte de NuitsExcellent levels, 2 labels very slightly markedIf ever you doubt the importance of the producer in Burgundy, try this. In 2017, it is that lush, rich undergrowth nose that tips you immediately into the Côte de Nuits, but at an elevated status. The intensity is astonishing. Mais voilà, village Gevrey from a wizard, in a glittering year. That extraordinary sweetness on the palate, together with opulence and volume. It really goes into orbit. Once again, one lifts one's hat to the late, great Charles Rousseau.
