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

BH94
Highly expressive and moderately mature aromas explode from the glass to reveal dark fruit, earth and spice elements that lead to intense, full-bodied, robust and impressively muscular flavors, all wrapped in a wonderfully velvet-textured and mineral-inflected finish of superb length. This has nearing its peak window of drinkability though I will continue to hold my few remaining bottles for a few more years first as there is just enough tannin remaining to suggest that a bit more development potential remains. I have tasted the `95 Cham many times with excellent results save for one bottle that was displaying noticeable brett.
