The Winery

Domaine Armand Rousseau

"Great wine can be made every year in Burgundy; it is down to hard work in the vineyard and selection in the winery. Selection means firstly fermenting only the healthy, sound berries, and later, rejecting any barrels of wine that don't meet the standard."
- Charles Rousseau

Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of the most celebrated estates in Burgundy, boasting a rich heritage, noble vines and consistently outstanding wines. Hailing from the Cotes de Nuits, the 35 acre Grand Cru Domaine has been in business since the 1930s, and has always operated as a family affair. Eric Rousseau, the third generation of the family, currently holds the reigns in the cellar and vineyards. Focusing adamantly on small yields, cold fermentation, and 100% new oak, the wines are elegant and age worthy, vintage after vintage.

Tasting Notes

V90
Medium red. Cherry, plum and mineral aromas, along with notes of pepper and spices. Juicy and penetrating, with the best depth of flavor thus far of these 2000s. This seems to be putting on weight in bottle. Smooth and fine on the back end.
BH90
As it always is, this delivers remarkable elegance and completely harmonious aromas of red fruit, oak spices and Gevrey earth with almost the same incredible complexity as the Ruchottes. There is however even better power and drive with outstanding acid/fruit balance and seamless integration. I especially like the purity, precision and focus. Another great Rousseau Clos St. Jacques in a seemingly unending string of them. Terrific juice.
