Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru Magnum 1.5L 2018
This wine, the Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques Magnum 1.5L 2018, boasts a fresh and inviting aroma that combines notes of cool red cherry, pomegranate, rose petal, Sauvage, and humus, with subtle hints of wood influence. The medium-weight flavours are equally precise, intense, and mineral-driven, creating a sophisticated mouthfeel. The finish is impressively long and complex, exhibiting a focused power that promises great aging potential for this wine, which is very firm and compact.
In addition to the wine's outstanding taste, the magnum bottle size of 1.5L is worth noting. This larger bottle size offers several benefits to the wine, including a slower aging process, which allows the wine to develop more complex and nuanced flavours over time. The magnum also provides a better wine-to-air ratio, which helps to maintain the wine's quality and freshness. Finally, the magnum's impressive size and appearance make it an excellent choice for special occasions or as a gift for wine enthusiasts.
