2019 Gevrey-Chambertin, Armand Rousseau

2019 Gevrey-Chambertin, Armand Rousseau

Rousseau’s Gevrey might be their least grand cuvée, but it remains nevertheless one of the most sought after wines, and a window onto their supreme style which can be drunk a little earlier than their premiers and grands crus.

Tasting notes

The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Village has a slightly more cohesive bouquet compared to the Clos de Château, featuring wild strawberry and morello cherry, quite gentle and lilting. The palate is medium-bodied with cranberry and light spicy notes on the entry. Darker berry fruit enters toward the finish, and a saline tang lingers on the aftertaste.

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.
