DOMAINE ROUSSEAU
This estate brings to mind the kind and knowlegeble words of fellow colleague Anthony Hanson: "this is one of Burgundy's great traditional domaines and Charles Rousseau one of the Côte's best-loved, most courteous growers". Domaine Armand Rousseau is priviliged to have ownership of some of Burgundy's greatest, most written about, vineyards: over 20 acres of Grand Crus, 8.65 acres of Premier Crus, 5.56 acres of Gevrey Village land. Charles took control of this illustrious estate upon his father's, Armand, untimely death in 1959. At that time the inheritance totaled 16 acres. In the ensuing decades Charles added 17 acres more which included choice sites in Clos de la Roche (1965/1975), Clos des Ruchottes (1978; from the Thomas Bassot estate), Clos de Bèze (1961) and Chambertin (in 1968, 1983 and again in 1993 more land was added to his inheritance). Wines from this stable receiving 100 new Allier oak include Chambertin, Clos de Bèze and Clos St. Jacques.
