DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU

This domaine was started at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau who came from a family of vignerons and wine-merchants. Through marriage, he acquired several plots of vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits. Gradually he increased the size of the Domaine with acquisitions of vineyards in Charmes Chambertin in 1919, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin in 1920 and 1921, Mazy-Chambertin in 1937, Mazoyeres-Chambertinin 1940 and the esteemed 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques in 1954. In 1959 Armand was succeeded by his son Charles and since 1982 Charles’s son Eric (born 1957) assumed control helped by his daughter Cyrielle. Eric has implemented a more precise approach to viticulture, with the use of green harvesting where necessary. The vines are between 40 and 45 years of age, with a planting density of 11,000 vines per hectare.

Vinification is traditionally Burgundian. After destemming, the grapes are cooled to 15°C before 18 to 20 days of maceration, without heating or temperature control. Both punching down and pumping over are used. The wines are aged in barrel with the same percentage of new oak followed each year, except the Clos-St-Jacques which may vary. For Chambertin and Clos de Bèze 100 per cent new wood is used and 100 per cent one-year-old wood for other grands crus, although a little new oak is now used for Clos des Ruchottes.
