Tasting notes for the Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Clos Saint-Jacques" 2000 - Armand Rousseau

  • EYE: The color of this Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2000 catches the eye with a deep ruby red, sprinkled with subtle purple reflections. The brightness of the color suggests a harmonious maturation, while the crystalline clarity highlights the remarkable quality of the winemaking process.
  • NOSE: The aromatic profile of this 2000 vintage reveals a wine of nuance and complexity. Dominant aromas of black cherry and blackberry interlace elegantly, accompanied by discreet floral notes. More delicate hints of aged leather and licorice add an additional depth, creating a bouquet with an impressive olfactory richness.
  • MOUTH: This Gevrey-Chambertin offers a balanced mouthfeel. The subtly matured tannins provide a solid structure to this red wine, while the well-preserved acidity brings persistent freshness. The palate evolves gracefully, showcasing concentrated flavors of black fruits supported by subtle nuances of cocoa and black pepper.

 

In short: The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2000 from Domaine Armand Rousseau is a mature wine with a complex bouquet and subtle balance. This vintage promises optimal aging for 10 to 15 years. To accompany this exceptional cuvée, consider dishes such as duck breast with cherries, beef bourguignon, wild mushroom risotto, lamb chops with herbs, or a selection of aged cheeses.

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.
