This consignor became interested in wine after attending a Burgundy tasting in 2005, completely baffled by how different the wines were. They have been a casual collector ever since, sourcing most of their bottles in Alberta, along with some from the SAQ. All bottles were acquired directly from importers, and have been stored in one of their two Eurocaves.
2020 Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from this lot has the following scores - Decanter 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2020 Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Allen Meadows - with a score of 93-95 points. Note - from a 1.48 ha holding, 1 ha of which is in Les Fremières and the rest in Clos de la Roche proper. 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.
