Domaine Armand Rousseau

Domaine Armand Rousseau was founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau. The estate comprises over 15 hectares of vineyards, including 8.5 hectares of grand crus and 3.8 hectares of premier crus cultivated using sustainable agriculture practices. The vineyard soils are limestone and clay-limestone. Domaine Armand Rousseau produces six iconic Burgundy Grand Crus: Chambertin, Charmes Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de Bèze, Ruchottes Chambertin, Mazy Chambertin and Clos de la Roche.

The wines from Domaine Armand Rousseau are known for their longevity: 15 years for the premier crus and 20 years for the grand crus. We recommend the Armand Rousseau Clos de la Roche 1986 and the Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru 2008.

The wine ageing is done in 100% new oak barrels for the Chambertin Clos de Bèze. The Clos Saint Jacques is aged in 70% to 100% new oak barrels depending on the vintage. All other grand crus are aged in once-used barrels. The barrels come from Allier forests and are medium-toasted. The ageing process lasts 20 months, during which two rackings are performed. Bottling usually takes place in April after a light filtration for cleanliness to preserve the delicate fruit of Pinot Noir. The bottling is done by gravity, directly from the barrels after blending.
