A benchmark Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru from one of Burgundy’s most revered domaines, Armand Rousseau, the Lavaux St. Jacques 2010 combines pedigree, precision, and remarkable depth.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this wine typically shows a translucent ruby-garnet hue with impressive vibrancy for its age. The bouquet is layered and refined, unfolding with aromas of ripe red cherry, wild strawberry, rose petal, forest floor, spice, and subtle earthy undertones, with time revealing hints of truffle, tea leaf, and mineral nuance. On the palate, it is beautifully poised, combining Gevrey-Chambertin’s signature structure with silkier tannins and a long, focused finish. The fruit is precise rather than exuberant, supported by fresh acidity and a savory, autumnal complexity that develops in the glass. The 2010 vintage has the balance and concentration to age gracefully for many more years, rewarding patience with added depth and tertiary nuance.

Production
Lavaux St. Jacques is a Premier Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin, situated on a hillside site known for its cool exposure and limestone-rich soils, which contribute lift, finesse, and a distinct mineral edge. Domaine Armand Rousseau is known for meticulous vineyard management and traditional vinification, with careful hand harvesting and gentle extraction to preserve purity and site expression. The resulting wine is aged in French oak barrels, where oak is used as a discreet frame rather than a dominant flavor.

Food & Serving
This wine is an excellent match for roast duck, game birds, mushroom dishes, lamb, or fine cuts of beef, as well as earthy vegetarian dishes such as truffled risotto. Serve at around 15-17°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if opening now, especially if the bottle has been resting in cellar for some time.
