Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1990 - Domaine Armand Rousseau

Tasting notes for the Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1990 - Armand Rousseau

• EYE: The Clos de la Roche Grand Cru 1990 presents itself in an evolved ruby robe with brown reflections at the periphery, revealing its advanced age. The wine's transparency unveils well-managed maturity, and the liquid's clarity underscores expert winemaking.
• NOSE: This vintage exudes complex aromas resulting from over three decades of aging. Red fruits have given way to notes of dried plum and cherry compote. Wafts of precious wood and fragrant leather add an elegant dimension, creating an evocative olfactory bouquet.
• MOUTH: We are offered a very refined tasting experience. The melted and delicate tannins harmoniously structure the wine, allowing the flavors of preserved fruits and blackberry to fully express themselves. Balanced acidity ensures persistent freshness, and the finish, marked by notes of black truffle and tobacco, leaves a lasting impression on the palate.

In short: This 1990 vintage of Clos de la Roche Grand Cru from Domaine Armand Rousseau is at its peak after three decades, offering a captivating tasting experience. While its aging potential remains, this wine should be opened by 2025 to fully experience all its nuances. It embodies the exceptional tradition of the Domaine Armand Rousseau. Pair it with a Rossini-style beef fillet, truffle risotto, or aged cheese such as old Gouda.
