Domaine Armand Rousseau - Chambertin Grand Cru 'Clos de Beze' - 2001

The 2001 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has astonishing intensity on the nose, perhaps more like a 1999, with copious black cherries, black truffle, juniper berries and eucalyptus. It seems incredibly young even when juxtaposed against Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux from the same vintage. The palate is medium bodied, quite structured and grippy, backward and rather masculine yet with disarming poise... 95 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
