Chambertin 1990 Domaine Armand Rousseau (12 BT)

Chambertin 1990

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru

Good levels, labels damp-stained and soiled

In 2015, a magical scent of wild herbs, wet violets, woodsmoke and coffee. Enormous finesse of texture on the palate, allied to power. Sweet, succulent and lingering. The strongest flavour is cherries which stays right to the end. Serena Sutcliffe, MW

A curated offering of legendary wines including 1928, 1982 and 1989 Haut Brion, 1961 Lafite in magnum, 1989 Lafleur, 1990 Rousseau Chambertin and the rarely seen 1990 Henri Bonneau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Spéciale (only produced in 1990 and 1998). These wines are from a loyal client of Sotheby's with precise tastes who has these wines in good quantity so needs to sell a bit. Several of these wines are from Sotheby's auctions while the others are from trusted UK merchants. All wines were stored in professional wine storage prior to coming to us for this auction.
