Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos St. Jacques 2006

The wine combines extraordinary power and richness with remarkable complexity and finesse

it is full-bodied and extremely rich

There is excellent energy to the stony medium weight plus flavors that are at once succulent yet powerful where the latter carries over to the serious

You can follow its evident progression as it opens and evolves quickly in the glass

orange pekoe tea and plenty of earth

awesome concentration and richness

toasty oak

This is a wine of profound elegance and grace

A much more floral-inflected nose is equally fresh and ripe with a broader range of spice elements adding breadth to the pretty red and blue pinot fruit aromas that are trimmed in noticeable if not invasive wood

Sexy and delicious

integrated tannin

or those white soils
