Tasting notes for the Chambertin Grand Cru 2005 - Armand Rousseau

  • EYE: With a deep garnet red hue, the 2005 Chambertin Grand Cru offers a remarkable visual intensity. Its dense and brilliant color spreads uniformly in the glass, indicating beautiful maturity. Violet reflections at the periphery attest to its young age, promising potential evolution over the years.
  • NOSE: This wine boasts an incredibly expressive bouquet. Intense aromas of red fruits such as cherry and raspberry dominate, complemented by delicate floral nuances. Notes of undergrowth, leather, and subtle spices gradually emerge in the background after a few moments, offering aromatic complexity that heralds a rich tasting experience.
  • MOUTH: The 2005 Chambertin presents a structure that is both powerful and balanced. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame flavors of ripe red and black fruits. Lively acidity brings freshness and vivacity, while cedar, tobacco, and pepper notes add a spicy and earthy dimension to this energetic tasting.

 

In short: The 2005 vintage of Chambertin Grand Cru from the Domaine Armand Rousseau is currently at its peak but can still benefit from aging until 2030. Its robust structure and balance make it an ideal choice for enthusiasts of mature and expressive wines. It pairs perfectly with grilled ribeye, roasted pigeon with wild mushrooms, or a selection of aged cheeses such as Brie or Gruyère.

Family estate in Gevrey-Chambertin

 

In 1902, young Armand, 18 years-old at the time, inherited his first parcels of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits. Coming from a long line of wine makers and wine sellers from Burgundy, Armand Rousseau decided to follow the family traditions and developed his newly acquired grape vines. Things accelerated after his marriage in 1909, when he ended up with a bigger vineyard, as well as an entire estate which now bore his name.

Flash-forward to the 1930s. The Domaine Armand Rousseau was now selling its own wines, thanks to the input of Raymond Baudoin (the founder of the famous French magazine "Revue du Vin de France"). Armand was now producing as well as selling other appellations: Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, or Clos Saint-Jacques. He even started exporting to the USA, which just came out of 13 years of Prohibition.

In 1959, Charles Rousseau (Armand's son) inherited the estate when his father died. He had previously worked with him for 15 years and was now at the helm of the 6 hectares vineyard. Charles decided to make it grow it by adding more parcels like Clos de Bèze and Clos des Ruchottes. He aimed for the outside world and decided to export his wines in Europe and the rest of the planet, especially Asia since the 1970s.

Charles enjoyed the assistance of his son Éric, who began helping his dad in 1982, after he finished his oenology studies at the University of Dijon. Thanks to him, the Domaine Armand Rousseau had discovered organic winemaking. No more pesticides, mechanical plowing, high interventionism... This respect for nature and family traditions, Éric is now teaching it to his daughter Cyrielle. The new generation of Rousseau.
