($130) Medium red. Cherry, plum and mineral aromas, along with notes of pepper and spices. Juicy and penetrating, with the best depth of flavor thus far of these 2000s. This seems to be putting on weight in bottle. Smooth and fine on the back end.Author: Stephen TanzerIssue: March/April 2003Rating: 17
Strawberry, dark cherry, lengthy finish and relatively firm tannin. Balanced and elegant but incredibly reticent on the nose and that leaves it too evasive for my preferences. (RH)Author: Richard HemmingIssue: 40155Rating: 92
As it always is, this delivers remarkable elegance and completely harmonious aromas of red fruit, oak spices and Gevrey earth with almost the same incredible complexity as the Ruchottes. There is however even better power and drive with outstanding acid/fruit balance and seamless integration. I especially like the purity, precision and focus. Another great Rousseau Clos St. Jacques in a seemingly unending string of them. Terrific juice.Issue: 1st Quarter, 2002

Terrific nose of sappy Pinot fruit and wet Gevrey earth. Silky smooth palate with great balance. As with many 2000 Burgundies this is drinking terrific right now and will continue for the next several years.Drink Dates: 2009-2018Author: TannicTony
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.
