Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
I hope Burgundy enthusiasts have discovered how wonderful the 1980 vintage is for the wines from the Cote de Nuits. This year of low yields has turned out some of the best burgundies of the decade. Rousseau's Gevrey-Chambertin-Clos St.-Jacques, technically a premier cru, frequently performs at a grand cru level. The fully mature 1980 exhibits a garnet color with light amber at the edge. The fragrant nose is enthralling, with scents of sweet black-cherries, herbs, damp earth, and cedar. In the mouth, this medium to full-bodied wine enjoys excellent balance, good ripeness and freshness, and a long, smooth-as-silk finish.

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.
