Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques 2010 is a superb expression of one of Burgundy’s most admired Premier Cru sites. Crafted from Pinot Noir and shaped by one of the region’s most respected domaines, it combines finesse, depth, and classic Gevrey-Chambertin character in a vintage known for its balance and precision.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine offers a vibrant, translucent ruby color that hints at its elegance rather than power. The nose is layered with ripe red cherry, raspberry, floral tones, subtle spice, and a delicate mineral edge, creating an aromatic profile that feels both refined and expressive. On the palate, it is silky and well composed, with supple tannins, lively acidity, and a beautifully detailed fruit core. The finish is long and persistent, leaving impressions of red berries, spice, and gentle earthiness. While already appealing, it has the structure and pedigree to evolve gracefully over the next 5-10 years, gaining further complexity with age.

Food & Serving
