Domaine Armand Rousseau

Armand Rousseau is, without a doubt, one of Burgundy’s finest domaines. The domaine has around 14 hectares of vineyards in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, of which almost 8.5 hectares are in Grand Cru vineyards, including Chambertin-Clos de Beze, Le Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, and also with a piece of land in the Clos-Saint-Jacques Premier Cru.

Armand Rousseau is famous for being a frontrunner for wines of the highest quality in the region and was one of the pioneers for domaine bottling in the 1930s. He was succeeded by son Charles in 1959 and today grandson Eric is in charge.

The vineyards are handled with great care and attention to detail, and with minimal use of spraying. 90% of the grape material is destemmed and the different vineyards see varying proportions of new oak barrels depending on vintage.

As must be expected for the cream of the cream of the Cote d’Or these wines are prohibitively expensive, frequently being traded for several thousands of pounds for a single bottle.
