A Grand Cru Burgundy from a Legendary Producer

The Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru 2003 is an exceptional expression of Burgundy’s most prestigious terroir. Rousseau’s mastery shines through in this warm-vintage Pinot Noir, where intensity and refinement coalesce with striking complexity and age-worthy structure.

Tasting Notes – Powerful Yet Poised

On the nose, this 2003 Clos de Bèze opens with rich, expressive aromas of black cherry, ripe raspberry, spiced plum, and earthy undertones, elevated by hints of musk, smoke, and crushed herbs. The palate delivers full-bodied, layered flavours that remain elegant and supple, an impressive feat given the heat of the vintage.

Structured tannins provide a firm backbone, softened by a generous wash of sap and balanced acidity. The finish is long, concentrated, and harmonious, with the depth and power expected of a Grand Cru but the finesse only Rousseau can achieve.

Cellaring Potential

While beautifully accessible now with decanting, this wine still has significant ageing potential. It will continue to evolve gracefully in cellar conditions until 2040 and beyond.

Trusted Customer Reviews

James D., London
“An astonishing Clos de Bèze—deep, smoky, and full of soul. It outperformed every other 2003 Grand Cru I tasted last year.”

Rachel W., Manchester
“The nose alone was worth the price—layers of spice, cherry, and something hauntingly floral. Opened it for a milestone birthday, and it over-delivered.”

Thomas B., Edinburgh
“Classic Rousseau elegance. Drinking beautifully now, but I’ll be holding my remaining bottles for another decade.”

Winery	A ripe but not roasted and highly expressive nose features dark raspberry, black cherry, spice, and earth notes that are complemented by spicy plum and a smoky perfume akin to musk. The rich, intense, and full-bodied flavours are surprisingly supple compared to the average 2003 today. Yet, there is a solid lashing of sap-buffered tannins on the powerful, lingering, and impeccably well-balanced finish. Like the ’03 Chambertin, this too should be capable of ageing for a very long time, though it is sufficiently accessible that it wouldn't be a vinous crime to open bottles after only a few more years of cellar time.
