Domaine Armand Rousseau - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Clos St-Jacques' - 2018

An attractively fresh nose features cool and relatively high-toned red cherry, pomegranate and hints of rose petal, the sauvage and humus, all of which is trimmed in admirably discreet wood influence. The mouthfeel of the precise, intense, equally fine and mineral-driven medium weight flavors is remarkably sophisticated, all wrapped in an impressively long and superbly complex finish that flashes focused power. This is terrific and should age accordingly as it's very firm and compact. - Tasted January 2021 95 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
