2020DomaineArmandRousseauChambertinGrandCruCotedeNuits,France

<p>This cuvée comes from Rousseau’s 2.55 hectares in Le Chambertin, the heart of the slope between Latricières-Chambertin and Clos-de-Bèze. Grapes are hand-harvested and rigorously sorted, then given a cool maceration before the must moves by gravity to barrel for an élevage that typically lasts 18–24 months; bottling is done unfiltered, with a meaningful share of new oak reserved for the grands crus. The 2020 season delivered small, concentrated bunches and an unusually early harvest, yet the reds retained striking freshness and energy.</p>
