98+ The 2013 Chambertin is every bit as magical as the Clos de Bèze, soaring from the glass in an absolutely classic aromatic constellation of plums, red and black cherries, grilled meat, stunning complex soil tones...

Burghound, January 2016

Once again subtle reduction pushes the underlying fruit to the background so I recommended decanting it for those of you who can’t wait at least 5 years to try a bottle. There is even more size, weight and intensity to...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, December 2016

Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Chambertin Grand Cru from Armand Rousseau had a slight reduction on the nose but underneath lies some gorgeous and ripe redcurrant, strawberry and bay leaf aromas...

The 2013 Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region of France, specifically from the Gevrey Chambertin appellation in Cote de Nuits. This wine is renowned for its depth and complexity, characteristics that are well-highlighted in reviews by leading wine critics.

Burghound awarded this vintage a high score of 96, praising its "velvety, powerful and opulent big-bodied flavors" and noting the "massively long coffee-inflected finish" that evolves on the palate. The review suggests decanting it for immediate enjoyment, though it also recommends patience, as the wine is projected to age beautifully until at least 2035. The wine's structure is described as "firmly structured," yet less austere than usual, suggesting it might be approachable sooner than other Chambertin vintages.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, represented by Neal Martin, gave the 2013 Chambertin a score of 95. Martin describes the wine as having "gorgeous and ripe redcurrant, strawberry and bay leaf aromas" that require time to develop fully. He lauds the wine’s balance, focus, and precision, emphasizing its "outstanding tension and intensity on the sophisticated finish," describing it as a "proper Chambertin."

Both reviews highlight the wine's potential for aging and its remarkable complexity, with Burghound calling it "one of the greatest wines of the 2013 vintage." With 13% alcohol and sealed with a cork, this red wine exemplifies the traditional craftsmanship of Domaine Armand Rousseau. Whether for immediate enjoyment or long-term cellaring, the 2013 Chambertin stands out as a significant offering from a storied producer.
