DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU PÈRE ET FILS GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN CLOS SAINT-JACQUES 2005
Côte de Nuits. Premier Cru
u. 1 cm. marked & stained label.
One of the great renditions of this cuvée in recent times is the 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, a magical wine that unfurls in the glass with a deep and complex bouquet of red berries and plums mingled with hints of raw cocoa, violets, blood orange and peony, complemented by enticing carnal bass notes. Full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's seamless and complete, with fine concentration, racy but ripe acids and ample reserves of fine, powdery tannin, concluding with a long and sapid finish. The 2005 Clos Saint-Jacques is a decade away from full maturity, but its reference-point quality has long been impossible to miss. July 2020 Drink to 2065 WA 97
