Fullish colour. The nose is rather more hidden than his Clos de Bèze. But there is a lot of quality and depth here. On the palate fullish body. Splendidly concentrated fruit. Rich and fat and complex and high class. Very, very lovely.

Varietal Pinot Noir

Regularly described as being the grape varietal responsible for producing the world's most romantic wines, Pinot Noir has long been associated with elegance and a broad range of flavors The name means 'black pine' in French, and this is due to the fact that the fruit of this particular varietal is especially dark in color, and hangs in a conical shape, like that of a pine cone. Despite being grown today in almost every wine producing country, Pinot Noir is a notoriously difficult grape variety to cultivate. This is because it is especially susceptible to various forms of mold and mildew, and thrives best in steady, cooler climates. However, the quality of the fruit has ensured that wineries and vintners have persevered with the varietal, and new technologies and methods have overcome many of the problems it presents. Alongside this, the wide popularity and enthusiasm for this grape has ensured it will remain a firm favorite amongst wine drinkers for many years to come.

This beauty is just beginning to display hints of secondary development on the spicy dark berry fruit aromas that are laced with hints of spice, earth and game. There is excellent freshness and vibrancy to the pure, round, rich and focused full-bodied flavors that flash obvious muscle and minerality on the deep, powerful and hugely long finish. The '06 Chambertin is still firm though not so firm that it couldn't be enjoyed now though with that said, I would be inclined to continue to hold for another 5 or so years. In a word, wonderful. Tasted several times over the years with consistent notes save for one bottle that seemed excessively green.

Wine Spectator

Tight and chewy in texture, sporting cherry, tobacco, leather and mineral aromas and flavors. Perhaps this doesn't have the density of its peers, but it's persistent from start to finish, with a long finish of sandalwood and licorice. Best from 2014 through 2030. 45 cases imported.

Wine Advocate

93-94 The Rousseau 2006 Chambertin offers a gorgeous bouquet of roses, fresh cherry, nutmeg, and anise. Not at all weighty, it however offers caressing refinement of texture and luscious fluidity of well-concentrated red fruits and liquid floral perfume. Subtly smoky, meaty undertones gain prominence as the wine takes on air, and ineffable mineral notes emerge, too, as this finishes with lift, refinement, intricate interactive complexity, and lip-smacking generosity, yet not without an aura of mystery appropriate to this great site. No doubt the results will be worth following for a dozen or more years.

Vinous Media

Good deep red. Wonderfully pure, complex nose offers black cherry, minerals, red licorice and flowers, with an almost liqueur-like sweetness. Less expressive in the mouth but silky and suave in texture and considerably sweeter than the Clos de Beze, with compelling density and intensity of flavor. The almost liqueur-like red fruit quality carries through on the palate. The wine's sappiness gives it a weightless quality. The longest of these 2006s by far, finishing with superb grip and energy.

Winery Notes

Chambertin is the wine of Kings. He is masculine, powerful and well built. Vigorous and firm, well structured and very dense. With great persistence in the mouth. Aromas of chocolate, licorice and red berries.
