Note: 2.55 ha; 100% new wood. A distinctly cool and exuberantly fresh nose features reticent wonderfully spiced notes of various dark berries along with forest floor nuances that include humus and earth. The intensity of the imposingly broad-shouldered and muscular flavors is borderline painful with impressive power on the hugely long finish that is supported by incredibly dense but quite fine-grained tannins. This is magnificent and a wine of class and grace that will justly vie for wine of the vintage honors when it's time for such assessments. It's extremely rare that I put 30-year initial drinking windows for modern red Burgundies, but my prediction is that this stunningly brilliant wine will age glacially. - BH

Not surprisingly, the 2020 Chambertin chez Rousseau is more reserved today than the stunningly inviting Clos St. Jacques, but in the fullness of time, this magical wine will reach even greater heights. The refined and very precise bouquet wafts from the glass in a blend of red and black plums, raw cocoa, gamebird, a beautifully complex base of soil tones, a gentle touch of spice, woodsmoke and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and very deep at the core, with great mineral undertow and grip, ripe, buried tannins and a very, very long, nascently complex and oh, so promising finish. - JG
