About this Item

Armand Rousseau Père et Fils
Clos de la Roche, 1995
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

The family-run Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy's oldest and most revered domaines. They own many Grand Cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as part of the highly sought-after Premier Cru Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard. Established in the early 20th Century by Armand Rousseau, the domaine initially owned small parcels throughout Gevrey-Chambertin. Over the next century, under both Armand Rousseau and his son Charles, who took over the reins in 1959, the domaine acquired various Grand Cru vineyards in Charmes, Mazis and Mazoyères-Chambertin, culminating in a plot in Le Chambertin itself in 1994. Careful winemaking, which allows for terroir-expression, the sparing use of oak and old vines, all make for elegant and pure wines that are built for long ageing.

Critics Ratings

‘Secondary but still agreeably fresh aromas lead to supple, round and beautifully elegant medium-bodied flavors that are still underpinned by moderately firm tannins and excellent intensity on the ever-so-slightly drying but not astringent finish that delivers solid length.’ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 90/100 (Jul 2011)
