Description

2011 Gevrey-Chambertin, Les Cazetiers, 1er Cru, Domaine Armand Rousseau, BurgundyGood deep red with ruby highlights. Dark raspberry and licorice on the nose, complicated by musky herbs, menthol, leather and game. Then less sweet and more medicinal in the mouth than the Lavaux, displaying distinctly darker flavors. In a more masculine style, finishing with tougher tannins. The vines here average 55 years of age, making them the oldest of the estate. Vinous

It’s from vines around Chaux in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits (60%) and young vines from the Clos Blanc (40%)

If we were to create a template for an aspirational Barolo

but has more than enough freshness to drink well for another 10-15 years

Tasted at the pre-dinner vertical to mark Sylvain Pitiot's retirement from the domaine

rich and powerful

Very impressive indeed

Robert Parker has been quoted as saying that the wines of Vérité can compete with the best of Bordeaux when tasting a vertical of La Muse

Hautvillers and Champillon terroirs and 45% Avize and Oiry

immediately above Le Cailleret from which it was created in 1955

framed by firm

dense ripe fruit in the mouth alongside plenty of tannic structure
