Domaine Armand Rousseau - Gevrey-Chambertin 'Clos du Chateau' Monopole - 2016

The 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Château was not tasted at the domaine, but at a private La Paulée, where the owner Louis Ng poured this wine. I include it here for convenience. It has a bright red cherry and crushed strawberry nose laced with orange zest that leaps from the glass. The palate is very well balanced and harnesses the succulence and intensity of the vintage. It might be a village cru, but that does not stop it from exhibiting exuberance and vigor on the finish. Just delicious. - Tasted November 2019 90 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
