369 - 2015 A. Rousseau, Chambertin, 12 bottle

2015 A. Rousseau, Chambertin, 12 bottle Bottle conditions : 1x12 bottle ocb (not in bond VAT not paid) All condition and packaging abbreviations (e.g., owc, ts, lbsl, etc.) are given in their original English form. Refer to our catalog for an explanation of these abbreviations. Wine notes: "Here too there is just enough oak to mention but once again it's not really enough to impair the purity of the distinctly cool and ultra-spicy red currant, underbrush, sandalwood, lilac and plenty of earth aromas. The rich, intense and overtly muscular big-bodied flavors possess a similar level of minerality that is borderline pungent and it informs the explosively long, firm and very serious finish."(98pts BH) Provenance: The Cellar of a Swiss Entrepreneur: We are delighted to welcome back this successful Swiss entrepreneur and friend of the house with one hundred twenty-seven nearly pristine lots, much of it in original packaging. Bordeaux opens with a magnum of 1961 La Mission Haut-Brion and a case of 2000 Lafite, while Lafleur spans a case of 1983 to the more recent 2022 and 2023. Burgundy belongs to Rousseau and DRC: Rousseau Chambertin in full twelve-bottle OCBs of 2010, 2015, and 2016, and Romanée-Conti in six selections from 2016 through 2021.
