Tasting Notes

Domaine Armand Rousseau Charmes Chambertin Grand Cru 2013 exemplifies the pinnacle of Burgundy winemaking, offering a refined and focused expression that captures the essence of the renowned Charmes Chambertin vineyard. This Grand Cru presents a delightful balance between charm and structure, showcasing both immediate elegance and remarkable aging potential.

Elegant and poised, the 2013 vintage reveals quietly complex layers of red and dark berries, subtle earthy undertones, and delicate floral nuances. On the palate, it delivers a seamless integration of silky tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a harmonious texture that feels both inviting and sophisticated. Crafted with meticulous care, this wine is drinking beautifully now yet promises to evolve gracefully over the next decade, rewarding patience with deeper complexity and richness.

Sourced from a premium private cellar, this rare bottle represents a careful selection from one of the most prestigious terroirs in the Côte de Nuits. The Charmes Chambertin vineyard is renowned for producing wines of exceptional finesse and depth, characterized by their ability to express the unique mineral soils and ideal microclimate of the region. The 2013 vintage, known for its balanced conditions and moderate yields, has resulted in wines that are both approachable in youth and structurally sound for long-term cellaring.

This Domaine Armand Rousseau offering is a superb example of Grand Cru quality, combining refinement, complexity, and a quietly confident presence. It is a must-have for collectors and connoisseurs seeking a wine that embodies the prestige and tradition of Burgundy’s finest vineyards.

Critic Scores

The 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has an understated, elegant bouquet with fine delineation: bright redcurrant and pomegranate both vying for attention. The palate is underpinned by supremely fine tannins (borrowed from Clos-de-Beze!) and very well-judged acidity. This is just a little angular for a Charmes-Chambertin at the moment, but that will harmonize by the time it is in bottle.

An explosive, exuberant bouquet makes a strong first impression in the 2013 Charmes-Chambertin. Those signatures follow onto the palate, where the Charmes is quite opulent. Dark cherries, plums, spices and new leather blossom in a decidedly racy, supple Charmes that should drink well with minimal cellaring.

This has that interesting just turned earth, forest floor and humus character that some Gevrey-based wines display that adds plenty of breadth to the very fresh red currant and dark berry suffused nose. There is fine richness and volume to the delicious, intense and muscular broad-shouldered flavors that possess very fine depth on the balanced and lingering finish where the supporting tannins are dense but fine. This is better than it usually is and this is one of the wines in the Rousseau stable that has shown marked improvement over the last few vintages.

(two-thirds Mazoyeres and one-third Charmes; aging entirely in one-year-old barrels): Healthy dark red. Ripe aromas of blueberry and violet. Juicy and tight, offering lovely lift to the flavors of sappy dark fruits, animal fur and espresso. Ultimately silky in texture but showing less density today than the Cazetiers. Finishes brisk and persistent.
