Armand Rousseau Chambertin pours a glowing crimson-purple hue and immediately captivates with a glorious, classic bouquet full of the refined sensuality that defines this legendary Grand Cru. The nose is rich and expressive, leading into a powerful yet polished palate where any hint of dryness is effortlessly wrapped in layers of dense, dark strawberry fruit. With its magnificent depth and commanding presence, this is a show-stopping wine at the table—especially alongside prime cuts of beef, lamb, or deeply flavored dishes that can match its intensity and elegance.
Decanter: 99 Points
The 2022 Chambertin is a monumental wine with supremely ripe black cherry, plum, and cassis fruit loaded with spice and floral notes. There is an immense depth of flavour and a superbly dense and compact texture. As the wine sits in the glass, it seems almost infinitely complex. This tightly wound wine is not as generous as the Clos de Bèze. The truth is that the Bèze is perhaps more immediately engaging, while the Chambertin has more substance and ultimate potential. However, both wines will probably outlive anyone tasting them today since they seem set to age for a century.
Vinous Media: 96-98 Points
The 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru conveys a sense of grandeur on the nose, leaning slightly more towards red than black fruit, very harmonious and complex, with pressed flower scents filtering through with aeration. It is difficult to drag your nose away from the glass. The medium-bodied palate has very finely sculpted tannins and great depth with a smoothly textured, lightly spiced finish that lingers very long in the mouth. Superb.
Wine Advocate: 95-97 Points
Aromas of sweet raspberries and cherries mingling with notions of orange zest, incense and spices in a complex bouquet introduce Rousseau's 2022 Chambertin Grand Cru, a full-bodied, deep and layered wine that's concentrated, precise and penetrating. It's one of the least evolved wines in the cellar, but it's very fine-boned for such a warm vintage.
Burghound: 95–98 Points
A more restrained and less oak-inflected nose somewhat grudgingly reveals airy red cherry, dark currant, freshly turned earth, sauvage notes and a dazzling array of spices. The palate is tautly muscular yet strikingly refined, shaped by dense but exceptionally fine-grained tannins. The superbly persistent finish fans out beautifully on the palate. One of the stars of the 2022 vintage.
