($179) Good medium red. Cooler, more aristocratic nose than the Clos de Beze: blackberry, violet, minerals. Supple and suave but quite pure and sharply focused, with a degree of precision rare for the vintage. Finishes with terrific grip. Like the Clos Saint-Jacques and Clos de Beze, this may well ultimately merit a higher score.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2003Jancis Robinson | Rating: 17
Mid to pale rim. Not especially distinct on the nose. A bit muddy. Bit tough and hard. Very chewy indeed. Hard work. But after a while in the glass it became round and quite gentle on the mid palate. Mid length.Author: Jancis Robinson

Lovely expression of a beautiful wine.Author: Stephen G41
Founded just over 100 years ago, Domaine Armand Rousseau is a family-run winery considered to be among the best in Burgundy. Rousseau owns some of the most prestigious plots in Gevrey-Chambertin, and the resulting wines present the perfect distillation of the time-honored traditional methods of winemaking in Burgundy. The formula is simple—superb vineyards plus old vines plus low yields. This translates into wines of outstanding concentration that achieve a Burgundian balance of essential elegance and striking purity.
