2007 Rousseau Assort. (Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Beze)

Rousseau's 2007 Chambertin-Clos de Bèze Grand Cru wears its heart on its sleeve and is drinking beautifully today, bursting with aromas of plummy fruit, spices, peonies and toasty oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and melting palate that's sweet, giving and supple, concluding with a clean but only moderately persistent finish.

Dark red-ruby. Exotic, in-your-face aromas of dark raspberry, dried rose petal, violet, licorice and minerals. Wonderfully silky on entry, then lush and sweet in the middle, offering a magical combination of fine-grained texture, sharp definition and underlying minerality. As sexy as this is today-and it's much more expressive now than it was from barrel a year ago-its long, echoing, spreading finish and captivating palate-saturating sweetness suggest it will gain in complexity for a decade or two.
