About this Item
The family-run Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy's oldest and most revered domaines. They own many Grand Cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as part of the highly sought-after Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard. Established in the early 20th Century by Armand Rousseau, the domaine initially owned small parcels throughout Gevrey-Chambertin. Over the next century, under both Armand Rousseau and his son Charles, who took over the reins in 1959, the domaine acquired various Grand Cru vineyards in Charmes, Mazis and Mazoyères-Chambertin, culminating in a plot in Le Chambertin itself in 1994. Careful winemaking, which allows for terroir-expression, the sparing use of oak and old vines, all make for elegant and pure wines that are built for long ageing.
The Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard is one of the most renowned Premier Cru sites in Gevrey-Chambertin. Situated in a prime location with optimal sun exposure and well-drained limestone soils, this vineyard consistently produces wines of exceptional quality, depth, and concentration.

Critics Ratings
‘Strawberry, dark cherry, lengthy finish and relatively firm tannin. Balanced and elegant but incredibly reticent on the nose and that leaves it too evasive for my preferences.’ - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (March 2009)
