Domaine Armand Rousseau
Domaine Armand
Rousseau is revered as one of the grand old domaines of Burgundy,
resplendent with 14 hectares (half Grand Crus) and noble old vines.
While Charles Rousseau may still be in evidence, his son Eric has taken over wine making resposibilities, producing pale, finely structured wines of great elegance and stamina. The simple principle of old (but not ancient) vines and sensible yields dictates the Rousseau style. Sometimes the wines can appear light in their youth but they nearly always take on weight as they age.
Rousseau retains around 15 per cent of the stems, giving tannin and structure to his wines and aerating the juice and skins. His top three wines, Chambertin, Clos-de-Bèze and Clos-Saint-Jacques, are all aged in 100% new oak. For his other wines, the percentage is around 60.

Here too there is a gentle touch of wood spice framing the more elegant and ultra refined high-toned red pinot fruit nose that also evidences ample minerality that continues onto the rich, sweet and sappy middle weight flavors that are almost delicate yet focused, pure and sneaky long as the ...

Knockout aromas of wonderfully intense black and red cherry fruit, overlaid by cassis and a touch of new oak introduce medium-bodied, sweet, harmonious, very expressive and long flavors all underpinned by racy minerality and firm structure. The tannins are prominent but ripe and the density of ... MORE | ||||

Demanding a full 100% new oak, this is quite honestly a Grand Cru in all but name. Brimming with pinpoint, small red-berried purity, there's a wonderful sense of reserve and noblesse when tasting this wine. | ||||

It's as though the Clos de Bèze and Chambertin have switched places in 2006 as here the nose is positively kaleidoscopic with a huge range of aromas and spice elements leading to fresh, pure, round, rich and focused full-bodied flavors that carry obvious muscle and minerality on the deep, ...

This departs from its normal expressiveness by being much more restrained and if not backward, then at least relatively reticent on the spicy red berry fruit nose that quietly introduces very concentrated, brooding, superbly powerful and equally well focused flavors underpinned by very firm ...
