DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU
The Domaine was started at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau who came from a family of vignerons and wine-merchants. He had inherited through marriage several plots of vineyards in Gevrey Chambertin in the Côte de Nuits at the turn of the century. Gradually he increased the size of the Domaine with acquisitions of vineyards in Charmes Chambertin in 1919, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin in 1920 and 1921, Mazy-Chambertin in 1937, Mazoyeres-Chambertin in 1940 and the esteemed 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques in 1954. Following Armand’s tragic death in a car crash in 1959, his son, Charles Rousseau, who had studied law and then oenology at Dijon University assumed control. Charles Rousseau instigated many improvements and investments, such as building two new cellars to increase storage capacity. Charles’s son Eric and daughter Corinne have subsequently become involved at the Domaine and are responsible for producing some of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir coming out of Burgundy’s world-famous Côte de Nuits.
