Reviews:

• Decanter: This village-level wine is from vines owned by Louis Ng around the chteau, which he purchased in 2012. This has come a long way since the first vintage in 2013, with a pronounced cherry fruit on the nose, shaded with mineral and earth, then a texture on the palate that grows denser with every vintage.

• Vinous: The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Chteau has a very perfumed bouquet of red cherry and strawberry fruit. The palate is tart on the entry with slightly rustic tannins and modest weight. Just a little attenuated on the finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Armand Rousseau is a highly regarded and critically lauded wine producer based in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, in the northern Cte 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 Mazoyres-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-Bze 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.
