ARMAND ROUSSEAU
Armand Rousseau represents the form of the martial tread of Chambertin, and a property that has gone from strength to strength over the decades without many of the downturns experienced by other top proprieties.
As a courtier before the First World War, Armand Rousseau knew of all the parcels of land coming for sale and saw the opportunity to build a domaine of his own. Raymond Baudoin, consultant to a number of restaurants, persuaded Rousseau and others to domaine-bottle their best cuves for his best customers. Through the restaurants came private clients and through an introduction to Frank Schoonmaker the American market beckoned.
After his father's passing in 1959, Charles Rousseau maintained the property's consistency despite economic and climatic fluctuations. Today, his son Eric has taken over much of the winemaking, producing pale, finely structured wines of great elegance and stamina. The Domaine owns 14 hectares, half Grand Cru with top parcels of Chambertin, Clos de Beze and Clos St. Jacques.
