Compared to 2016, when there was a reduction in production due to frost, 2017 was a generous vintage. In keeping with the vintage, the Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 turned out to be delicate and open, reminiscent of the charming 2007 vintage. Chambertin Grand Cru 2017 from Domaine Armand Rousseau requires less patience, offering more immediate pleasure. The aroma has subtle facets of smoked meat, and piney woods with an accent of red berries. On the palate, a velvety texture transitions to an abundant core of juicy fruit and finishes with a ringing aftertaste.
For top-end Burgundy connoisseurs, there's already a perception that if you're looking for the surest route to a great Chambertine or Chambertine Clos de Beze, make sure the Domaine Armand Rousseau name is on the bottle label. Although Domaine Armand Rousseau wines are some of the most collectible, the family makes great wines with the hope that their wines get into the right hands, and the team at Lambier Wines shares those thoughts. Armand Rousseau's approach lies in an unconditional love of Burgundy terroir. The average age of the vines is 40-45 years, with a planting density of 11,000 vines per hectare. The average production is 65 thousand bottles per year. Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of the greatest Burgundian domains - in terms of history, vineyard ownership, and wine quality.

Wine Advocate
William Kelley: "Revisited from bottle, the 2017 Chambertin Grand Cru is showing beautifully, soaring from the glass with expressive aromas of sweet red berry fruit, smoked meats, coniferous forest floor, mandarin orange and peonies, framed by a deft application of cedary, spicy new oak. Full-bodied, sumptuous and enveloping, its velvety attack segues into an ample core of succulent fruit, concluding with a long and resonant finish. This is likely to be both deceptively approachable young and notably long-lived, offering a broad drinking window".
