2015 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin has following scores - Decanter 93 , CellarTracker 91. 2015 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin has the score of 90+ from Robert Parker and the tasting note -I was rather severe with my original review of Rousseau's 2015 Gevrey-Chambertin Village. Offering up aromas of red berries, cassis and plums, mingled with hints of spice, candied peel and raw cocoa, it's medium to full-bodied, velvety and elegant, with fine depth at the core, lively acids and a penetrating finish. While it's comparatively open as a young wine, it will reward further cellaring. Domaine Armand Rousseau has fared well in the 2015 vintage, producing a range that reflects all the qualities of the vintage (Cyrielle Rousseau compares the year to a person of above-average stature) but that nonetheless remain faithful to the family's much beloved house style. The Chambertin and Clos de Bèze are as great as ever, and the Clos des Ruchottes, Mazy and Clos de la Roche have all enjoyed above-average success. On the other hand, I had expected more of the premiers crus—especially the Lavaux Saint-Jacuques—and the two communal wines. As a set, these wines evoke Rousseau's 2005s, but I'd argue that they're less consistent than that superb portfolio of youthful classics. Only a few years ago, it seemed as if the domaine's other appellations were improving vis-a-vis the big three, but on the evidence of these 2015s, that thesis appears questionable. Marveling at the greatness of the Chambertin and Clos de Bèze, I often find myself wishing that more of that magic would rub off on the Charmes-Chambertin and the Clos de la Roche—especially given the premium that the Rousseau label commands these days.
