About this Item

Armand Rousseau Père et Fils
Charmes-Chambertin, 2001
1 (1 x 1) 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

‘Moderately saturated pale red color seemed to grow darker with aeration. Fresh perfume of red fruits, dried flowers, truffle, mushroom and underbrush. Not a large-scaled or expansive grand cru but fine-grained and ripe, showing insidious energy to its raspberry and truffle soil tones. Really lovely retention of red berry fruit here. Finishes with cherry and mineral notes and excellent lift. Eric Rousseau noted that the 2001s were closed for a long time, and I suspect that my score for this wine is higher than it was upon its release. Really wonderfully perfumed and alive.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 92/100 (Apr 2017)

‘Mid ruby with a very pale rim. Racy, rich, mulch-like nose and good lift. Again I get cherry fruit – not really a particularly serious flavour for a Grand Cru burgundy! But then Charmes is traditionally so much lighter than Chambertin. Pretty structured but there is good fresh fruit too. A certain sweetness on the finish.’ - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17/20 (Sept 2007)
