Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 1. cru 2014

Armand Rousseau’s Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques 2014 is a refined expression of Pinot Noir from one of Burgundy’s most esteemed domaines. Sourced from a cool, northern site in Gevrey-Chambertin, it combines precision, structure, and mineral drive with the elegance that has made Domaine Armand Rousseau a benchmark name in the region.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows a clear ruby color with excellent brightness. The nose is lifted and expressive, offering red cherry, raspberry, spice, forest floor, and a subtle floral touch. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and finely balanced, with supple tannins, lively acidity, and pure red-fruit character carried by a mineral backbone. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of spice and earth. While already appealing for its freshness and finesse, it has the structure to age beautifully, developing more complex aromas of leather, truffle, and undergrowth over time.

Production
Lavaux St. Jacques is one of the cooler premier cru sites in Gevrey-Chambertin, where the terroir tends to produce wines with tension, finesse, and distinct minerality. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this wine reflects both the character of the vineyard and the meticulous approach of Domaine Armand Rousseau. The 2014 vintage benefited from a cool growing season followed by a warm finish, resulting in a harmonious balance of acidity and fruit.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with classic Burgundian dishes such as duck, roasted quail, lamb, mushroom risotto, or game birds. It is best served slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and can be decanted briefly if opened young to allow the aromatics to unfold.

Producer
Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy’s legendary estates, long regarded as a reference point for Gevrey-Chambertin and some of the Côte de Nuits’ greatest vineyards. Founded in the early 20th century and still family-run, the domaine has built an international reputation for producing wines of precision, longevity, and remarkable site expression. Its wines are among the most sought-after in Burgundy, admired by collectors for their consistency and finesse.
