Chambertin is the Grand Cru that gives Gevrey its name, and Armand Rousseau is the domaine most associated with it. Rousseau's Chambertin is among the most coveted red wines in Burgundy, and the 2015 vintage delivered a ripe, concentrated year that suited the site perfectly. The 2015 Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru earned 98 points from William Kelley (Wine Advocate), 98 points from Neal Martin (Vinous) and 98 points from Wine Spectator, with Kelley calling it one of the wines of the vintage and the unequivocal highlight of Rousseau's 2015 portfolio.
Tasted blind, the 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru confirms its status as one of the wines of the vintage... On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and immensely layered, with succulent acids, supple and fine-grained tannins and an exceptionally long finish. Despite its aromatic and textural drama, it remains controlled and quintessentially elegant. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate (98 pts)
Suggested drinking window: 2024 - 2050 (Wine Spectator).
Critic Reviews
98 Points - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
“Tasted blind, the 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru confirms its status as one of the wines of the vintage-and as the unequivocal highlight of Rousseau's 2015 portfolio. Aromas of sweet red-black fruits, candied peel and cedar mingle with nuances of grilled meats and raw cocoa in a complex bouquet, with a touch of oak vanillin emerging with aeration. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, deep and immensely layered, with succulent acids, supple and fine-grained tannins and an exceptionally long finish. Despite its aromatic and textural drama, it remains controlled and quintessentially elegant.”
98 Points - Neal Martin, Vinous
“The 2015 Chambertin Grand Cru has a very sensual, pure bouquet that blooms with red cherries, red currant jus, crushed stone and a touch of sous-bois, all exquisitely defined and pixelated to the nth degree. The palate is extremely well balanced, offering fine, saturated tannin, a killer line of acidity and a precise, mineral-soaked, persistent finish that feels effortless. Stunning. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.”
98 Points - Wine Spectator
“Laced with black currant, black cherry and blueberry fruit, this majestic red is ripe and fresh. Spice notes add depth and the dense structure offers support. This still needs time to integrate, but all the component parts are there. Shows terrific energy and potential. Best from 2024 through 2050. 108 cases imported.”
