Lot 515 Details
DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU PÈRE ET FILS CHAMBERTIN CLOS DE BÈZE 1996

Côte de Nuits. Grand Cru
scraped label.

The 1996 Chambertin Clos de Beze, here tasted blind, has wonderful delineation on the nose that displays a slightly ferrous scent that becomes accentuated with time. Later, there are suggestions of oxtail and briary. The palate is medium-bodied and is at full maturity, There is an autumnal haze around this Clos de Beze, with a leathery finish that demonstrates good persistency, if not nearly the class of the Chambertin '96. I would drink this over the next decade. October 2014 WA 93

1 bt.    per lot $2,400 - $2,600

Realised: $2,280
