Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
92-94 (8-1998) This dark-colored wine is produced from vines that were planted in 1920 and 1921. Profound aromas of red cherries, blackberries covered in chocolate, morel and porcini mushrooms, road tar, and toasty oak lead to an awesome explosion of densely packed fruit on the palate. Layers of juicy and plump cherries, minerals, stones, and fresh herbs are intertwined with vanilla-imbued oak in this expressive and feminine beauty. It possesses extraordinary depth, concentration, and structure. This full-bodied, velvety-textured, refined, and focused wine also possesses an extremely long and delineated finish.

Château Domaine Armand Rousseau
Domaine Armand Rousseau
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 farming practices. The vineyard soils are limestone and clay-limestone.

Domaine Armand Rousseau produces six emblematic Burgundy Grand Crus: Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Ruchottes-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, and Clos de la Roche.

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

The wines from Domaine Armand Rousseau are long-aging: 15 years for the Premier Crus and 20 years for the Grand Crus.
