Weeeee! It’s not poxed!Very fresh and bright. Merlin and hints of lime. Slate and salinity. Great presence on the mid palate and a long way to go still. Very good — 2 months ago
Had the 2012, 2013, 2016 and this was by far the standout. Amazing longevity — 2 months ago
This one, on the other hand, did smack me in the face with a surprising streak of lean almost metallic minerals cutting through. — 3 months ago

I like that - a bit of dark fruit and a nice racy finish. Simple but effective, paired with bread and butter. — 7 years ago
Back dating our reviews as we’ve been to this (excellent) restaurant twice in the past three days!
Superb seafood and this Chablis was the perfect accompaniment.
👏 to Michael the resident Sommelier for the selection.

Clear, medium ruby in color. On the nose, it has pronounced primary aromas of raspberries, red plums, and violets. On the palate, it's dry with high acidity, low tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and medium intensity primary flavors of strawberries, pomegranates, and clay pots with a medium finish. This wine is simple but with balanced fruit and acidity. It may be a little tart for some tastes. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. — 2 months ago
Domaine Armand Rousseau Père & Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2012
For my first time tasting Domaine Armand Rousseau Père & Fils Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, the sommelier said that if Chambertin is the King, then this wine, Clos de Bèze, is the Queen. The 2012 vintage is relatively easy to approach and didn't require a very long decanting time—two hours was sufficient.
The 2012 growing season was quite challenging, with a severe cold spring, but the summer was warm and hot. As a result, the fruit profile of this wine is quite expressive.
For the first hour, the reduction notes were very strong. It only started to open up in the second hour. The aroma is quite elegant. Since we were dining at a restaurant, the sommelier was very meticulous in controlling the temperature of the glassware, adjusting the wine's condition to a optimal state.
I didn't get very exuberant fruit notes. The overall state of the wine was restrained and elegant—like a lady around 30 years old. Not only is her beauty present, but there's also a feeling of poise and steadiness. Everything was in balance: the aromas, flavours, and acidity.
Notes of cherry, blackberry, liquorice sweetness, a hint of mint, and some dried flowers. There was a slightly creamy texture on the palate. The body was rounded but not quite what I would call voluptuous.
I didn't find any particularly stunning or breathtaking flavours or aromas. I can only say that this wine's performance was... correct. I had originally hoped for more complex layers, but unfortunately, I felt its expression was relatively simple, not very complex. It was just quite elegant and graceful.
This wine is exceedingly expensive. For a similar quality presentation, I believe there are other options at perhaps half the price that could deliver a comparable experience. — 2 months ago

In Sydney for a Burgundy dinner about 6 weeks ago. Only posting my sketchy notes now. Our host rated this 2015 as better than the 2005 as regards colour flesh and persistence of flavour. Ripe raspberry fruit. DRC has practiced biodynamics since 1990 in this vineyard. Oak spice noticeable. Very early in its drinking window which is 2022 to 2042. — a month ago
