About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceIt is said that to get to the heart of Chamertin, you have to take the road to Domaine Armand Rousseau. Armand, the man, had a family history that included vine growers, coopers, merchant's and courtiers. This allowed Armand to procure land in prestigous areas which were and have become Grand Cru vineyards. The 2008 Charmes-Chambertin is a typically floral and fragrant Pinot Noir with layers of rose petal and light spice. The palate is extremely elegant and refined, but will also live for well over a decade with careful cellaring.
