Domaine Armand Rousseau Père Et Fils - Clos De La Roche 2020 (750ml)

Burghound 92-95 points

"Ripe but appealingly fresh aromas reflect notes of cassis, newly turned earth and plum coulis. The succulent, round and velvety big-bodied flavors possess excellent mid-palate density while the sappy dry extract coats the mouth on the impressively powerful and hugely long finish. This will need to develop better depth to merit the upper-end of my projected range, but the potential is there."

Vinous 93-95 points

"The 2020 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a quintessential nose for this vineyard, quite flamboyant yet still with that Rousseau sense of control and elegance, a melange of red and black fruit, touches of wet stone and undergrowth. The palate is medium-bodied with a supple entry, fine weight and density, veering more towards the red fruit profile with a dash of black pepper on the finish. This was once the weak card in Rousseau's pack. That is the case no longer."
