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.
Charmes-Chambertin is a prestigious Grand Cru vineyard located in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. It is renowned for its limestone-rich soils and optimal sun exposure, which contribute to the production of wines with depth, complexity, and aging potential.

Critics Ratings
‘This is turning out a bit better than I imagined it might with its fresh and pretty red berry fruit nose that presently displays only a trace of secondary character along with hints of earth and the sauvage. I like the vibrancy of the nicely intense medium weight flavors that are focused if not especially concentrated, all wrapped in a bright, clean and lingering finale. For my taste this hasn't quite yet arrived at its apogee but it's not so far away that it couldn't be enjoyed now. Drink 2020+.’ – Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 91/100 (Dec 2017)
'Quite pale, limpid ruby. Introvert on the nose. Gentle, floral, charming palate with real sweetness, even if not great weight. Really charming! Just some fine tannins and lots of rose-petal fragrance.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17.5/20 (Jan 2009)
