2000 Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Clos Saint-Jacques Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 750ml

This premier cru wine from the legendary Rousseau family estate is a testament to their meticulous craftsmanship and unwavering commitment to quality.

Drinking Window: 2008-2013

Vineyard Notes:

• Located on the Côte d'Or escarpment, Clos Saint-Jacques boasts southeast-facing slopes and white marl soils similar to the Grand Cru Chambertin.

• The vineyard benefits from optimal sunlight exposure and a cooling wind that ensures perfect grape ripeness.

• A lack of moisture in the topsoil forces deep root systems, resulting in concentrated, high-quality berries.

• Clos Saint-Jacques is arguably Gevrey-Chambertin's most prestigious premier cru, producing full-bodied red wines considered among the village's finest.

Producer Notes:

• The wines from this terroir are clear and balanced with strong, smooth tannins and a dominant aroma of blackcurrant and small black fruits. They have a particularly intense mouth-feel.
