Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 2021

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village opens in the glass with aromas of dark berries, spices, expresso roast and orange zest. Medium-bodied, supple and perfumed, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and powdery tannins, it's a touch deeper and more structured than the Clos du Château.

The 2021 Gevrey-Chambertin Village clearly possesses more fruit intensity than the Clos du Chateau with perfumed red berry fruit, sous-bois and orange pith aromas that are well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with dark berry fruit mixed with orange rind on the entry. Not a deep or powerful Village Cru, but pure and fresh. A tad short on the finish? Drink over the next decade.
