Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin 2007
Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Chambertin 2007
100% Pinot Noir. Domaine Armand Rousseau ranks with Romanee-Conti, Leflaive, Jacques Prieur, and a small handful of names that are the stuff of Burgundy legend. These domaines produce impeccable quality wines from vintage to vintage, and consistently place Burgundy at the top of the wine world. In August 2012, following the purchase of Chateau de Gevrey-Chambertin's vineyards by its new Chinese owner, Louis Ng Chi-sing, chief operating officer at SJM Holdings in Macau, its management was entrusted to Eric Rousseau of Domaine Rousseau. The five-acre property, which includes the Chateau, is comprised of small plots of the grand cru and premier cru 'Chambertin' vineyards, while the balance is Gevrey-Chambertin AOC. Eric Rousseau is adamant that yields should be severely limited to promote faithful expression of the individual vineyard. The wines age in barrel for 18 months before bottling. Rousseau releases its wines exactly two years after the vintage.
