2007 Chambertin, Grand Cru, Domaine Armand Rousseau, Burgundy

Chambertin Grand Cru has already eaten its wood which allows free rein for the spicy, pure, elegant and restrained earthy red pinot fruit with animale hints and ample mineral notes to dissolve seamlessly into dusty, textured, precise and palate staining big-bodied flavors that are exceptionally tight on the linear but hugely long finish. Don't miss it.
