Chambertin--Vintage 2002
Côte de Nuits, Grand Cru, Domaine Armand Rousseau
"This too is incredibly complex but the essential character of the wine is quite different as the Beze is built more along the lines of elegance and finesse in 2002 whereas the Chambertin is classic in style with its robust power and obvious muscularity all wrapped in prominent but fine tannins. I particularly like the inner mouth perfume here and while this is certainly a forceful, intense wine, it's not a bruiser as there is excellent precision and purity of expression here as well plus it enjoys exceptional balance as well. A great effort." BH, January 2004
