Domaine Armand Rousseau, Chambertin - Clos De Bèze 2009 MAGNUM

92-94 / 100 Robert Parker
The 2009 Chambertin-Clos de Beze is a decidedly virile, imposing wine built on a core of seriously ripe fruit that is backed up by plenty of tannic heft. Despite its intense personality, the Beze also shows plenty of sensuality, freshness and vibrancy, all qualities that make this a wonderfully complete and intriguing Burgundy. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2049.

Mid crimson. Very slightly reduced but with lots of lovely sappy fruit underneath and the merest hint of treacle. Relatively open and loose, this seems almost ready! Amazing!! Fine tannins to the fruit has really coped very well indeed with the 100% new oak. Some real depth and length. Very fine tannins on the finish, sappy. But one of the lighter Clos de Bèze vintages surely?

This is quite ripe yet the impression is one of freshness with no surmaturité while the aromas reveal an exuberant spiciness to the dense mix of red and black fruit and wet stone aromas. The supple, round and marvelously well-detailed broad-shouldered flavors possess a silky mid-palate brimming with dry extract on the almost painfully intense and massively long mineral-driven finish that displays stunning persistence. The 2009 is an impeccably well-balanced effort in yet another in a long line of great vintages for this storied wine.
