"The 2008 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques 1er Cru is an absolute joy to behold and in terms of drinking now a sheer pleasure, surpasses both the 1996 and 2005 tasted the previous day. It bursts with pixelated red cherry and strawberry fruit on the nose, laced with minerals and light citrus scents. The palate is powerful and certainly not dense. Yet it possesses disarming transparency and fabulous precision, weightless yet paradoxically intense with a long tail on the finish. It is more a Clos Saint-Jacques of texture and feeling than obvious fruit descriptors. Wonderful."

Domaine Armand Rousseau, nestled in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, stands as one of the most revered and storied estates in Burgundy. Founded in the early 20th century and now under the careful hand of Éric Rousseau, the domaine cultivates its vineyards with a profound respect for tradition and nature. Their approach is one of subtlety and restraint, allowing the voice of the terroir to emerge, as though each vine were an instrument in a delicate symphony. The wines from Rousseau are known for their finesse and poise, capturing the essence of each vintage while quietly echoing the history of this revered region. Rousseau’s creations transcend the temporal world, their fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity recalling the work of Gothic cathedrals, standing tall and refined for centuries.

Domaine Armand Rousseau wines are pre-sale with expected arrival of end of year.
