Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: From 50+-year-old vines, a 2005 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers offers a nose of high-toned distilled berries and flowers, medicinal herbal extracts, and hints of cedar and game. Sleek and refined in texture, juicy in fruit, but more austere in its mineral expression than the Lavaux, this finishes with a relatively sharp point of fruit, pungent herbal flavors, chalk and stone.

• Allen Meadows: The ripe and still largely primary nose displays plenty of earth and game elements on the black cherry and violet-scented aromas. There is excellent size, weight and concentration to the serious, intense, round and mineral-driven flavors that culminate in a powerful, detailed and sappy finish that is supported by a firm core of tannins.

Producer Information

Domaine Armand Rousseau is a highly regarded and critically lauded wine producer based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the northern Côte de Nuits. Arguably iconic in status, Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy’s oldest and most revered family-run domaines. It holds many grand cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as part of the much sought-after premier cru vineyard Clos Saint-Jacques. Founded at the start of the 20th Century by Gevrey native Armand Rousseau, the domaine initially owned small plots of vines throughout Gevrey-Chambertin. Over the next 100 years under both Armand Rousseau and his son Charles, who took over after the death of his father in 1959, the Domaine acquired various grand cru vineyards in Charmes-, Mazis- (labeled “Mazy” by the domaine) and Mazoyères-Chambertin, culminating in a plot in Le Chambertin itself in 1994. Today, the winery and vineyard are run by Charles’ son Eric and Eric’s daughter Cyrielle Rousseau. The domaine has just over 2.5 hectares (6.2 acres) in Le Chambertin with 1.4 hectares (3.4 acres) in the Clos-de-Bèze section. As well as half a hectare in Mazis-Chambertin, one hectare/2.5 acres in Ruchottes (Clos des Ruchottes) and and nearly 1.4 hectares in Charmes-Chambertin, Rousseau also produces a Clos de la Roche from its 1.5 hectare (3.7 acre) holding in the acclaimed Morey-Saint-Denis appellation just south of Gevrey.
