2021 Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Chambertin Clos-de-Beze Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France

$2,650.00

Rousseau draws this Grand Cru from multiple parcels in Clos-de-Bèze—including Grands Rangs, Clos de Bèze Haut, and Vieilles Vignes—on east to southeast-facing, limestone-scree slopes that deliver both perfume and drive. Fermentation was conducted with partial whole clusters over a 19-day cuvaison, followed by 16–18 months in French oak (about 60% new); the wine was bottled without fining and with a light filtration. In the cool, low-yielding 2021 season, Clos-de-Bèze showed particular finesse at the domaine, marrying red-fruited clarity and spice with silky, incisive tannins and a long, mineral finish.
