{"product_id":"armand-rousseau-charmes-chambertin-2013-750ml","title":"2013 Domaine Armand Rousseau, Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)","description":"\"Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru has a well defined and quite earthy bouquet, plenty of sous-bois character here, gently unfolding in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe red cherry and crushed strawberry fruit, fine tannins and a harmonious, caressing finish that demonstrates assiduous use of new oak. Everything just seems to effortless in this delightful Charmes-Chambertin from Armand Rousseau. Tasted September 2016.\" NM for TWA \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere he is again. As I fumbled trying to open the wrought iron gate chez Rousseau, the legend that is Charles Rousseau, innings of 91 not out, exited the small cabin where he spends his day in quiet repose to help me inside. Sure, he looks a little gaunt, his gait slower and fragile, the caducity of life evident to see and yet remains the history of Burgundy made flesh, blood and charisma. Winemaker Frédéric Robert was on hand as usual to guide me through the barrels, always one of the most candid vignerons in Burgundy. Before embarking upon the tasting he mentioned that the fate of the village cru vines from Château de Gevrey has not been decided, choosing to wait until quality reaches a level where it will merit joining their portfolio (no pressure for the vines there then.) However, one parcel owned by the economically-titled ‘Ng’ family has now augmented their plot of Lavaux Saint Jacques. Like many winemakers, Frédéric was somewhat surprised and relieved to find how well their 2013s had turned out.","brand":"Rousseau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32966746636347,"sku":"BUR:ARM:CHAR-0750-2013-F0L0C0","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BURARMCHAR-0750-2013-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1716416899","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/armand-rousseau-charmes-chambertin-2013-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
