Domaine Armand Rousseau - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos St-Jacques' - 2022

Moderate though hardly invisible wood and menthol notes stop just short of dominating the liqueur-like aromas of red and dark currant, plum, just turned earth and old leather wisps. There is excellent volume and richness to the equally sleek and beautifully concentrated flavors that possess evident power and a taut muscularity on the lingering, complex, youthfully austere and impeccably well-balanced finish. This overtly mineral-driven effort is a wine of power and grace that should also amply reward extended keeping. 94-96 Points, Don't miss! Allen Meadows, Burghound
