2019 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux-St-Jacques, Armand Rousseau

Lavaux St Jacques is a lovely vineyard on the Combe de Lavaux which enjoys the cooling influence of the cold air drawn down the valley. As a result it is excelling in these warm vintages. Totally delicious.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux Saint-Jacques 1er Cru has wonderful transparency on the nose of red currant and wild strawberry, plus glimpses of orange blossom and rose petal. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, lightly spiced and quite peppery in the mouth. Fine grip and length. This is a lovely Lavaux that will be difficult to resist in its youth.

Domaine Armand Rousseau

Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy’s greatest producers. Their wines inspire awe in the fine wine world, with each vintage highly sought after. The domaine was founded at the turn of the last century by its namesake Armand Rousseau, courtesy of a small inheritance of vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin followed by additional vineyards added through marriage. Today, the domaine produces some of the world's most prized wines. They hold around 15 hectares of Pinot Noir vines in Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-St-Denis, six of which are grands crus. Their substantial holdings of Chambertin have accumulated through purchases which span nearly 90 years. Today, Cyrielle Rousseau is continuing the work of the generations that came before her, upholding the domaine’s simple, yet overwhelmingly successful formula - sensible yields from predominantly old vines, in fantastic locations, with traditional winemaking techniques, and a precision and excellence that one tastes immediately.
