Côte-de-Nuits

Gevrey-Chambertin

Gevrey-Chambertin lies 15km south of Dijon in the Côte de Nuits. The region takes its name from the village, Gevrey, and the appellation’s most prestigious vineyard, Le Chambertin. This village-vineyard naming convention is commonplace today, however, Gevrey-Chambertin set the trend, officially linking the two in 1847.

Covering approximately 550 hectares, it is one of the largest appellations in the Côte d’Or and certainly the largest appellations for reds; Pinot Noir is the only variety planted in Gevrey-Chambertin. Due to its size, the sub-region has a variety of terroirs – from gravels in the Vau de Combe to rich clay-soils on the northern côte – and produces a diversity of styles. Traditional viticultral and winemaking predominate, however, there has been growing trend towards more organic practices over the past two decades.

Gevrey-Chambertin has earned a reputation for producing Pinot Noirs with rich fruit and structured tannins. The best expressions see this intensity tempered with elegance, yielding concentrated wines with complexity and finesse.

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru 'Chambertin' 2001

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Chambertin’ 2001

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.This is the finest bottle of Rousseau's 2001 Chambertin I have ever had. With each taste, the 2001 has something new to say. At times, it is the aromatics that stand out. In other moments, the wine's structure, energy and overall complexity are totally alluring. Dark and brooding, with compelling inner sweetness, the 2001 simply can't be denied. It is utterly profound. It is as simple as that.This tasting of Rousseau’s Chambertin spanned eleven

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Chambertin’ 2002

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.Rousseau's 2002 Chambertin is in the zone. Succulent, racy and open, the 2002 is ready to deliver pleasure. The purity of the fruit alone is striking. Even so, the 2002 is still very much at the early part of its first plateau of maturity, as the flavors remain very bright and fresh. In this vertical, the 2002 comes across as a wine of immediacy, with a bit less structure and overall energy than the very best vintages. I say that with some hesitation,

Price on Application – Contact us.Good medium red. Strawberry, coffee, rose petal and smoky oak on the nose. Sweet, ripe and plump, with aromatic flavors of plum and spicy oak. Here the nearly 100% new oak percentage (the foregoing wines get little or no new oak) adds considerable sex appeal and nicely frames the wine's rather delicate fruit. Finishes long, subtle and aromatic, with an impression of finer tannins.Neal Martin, Vinous 90 Points Tasted Mar 2004Rousseau's 2001

Domaine Armand Rousseau Grand Cru ‘Clos de Bèze’ 2001

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.The 2001 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has astonishing intensity on the nose, perhaps more like a 1999, with copious black cherries, black truffle, juniper berries and eucalyptus. It seems incredibly young even when juxtaposed against Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux from the same vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, quite structured and grippy, backward and rather masculine yet with disarming poise. This Clos-de-Bèze is only just beginning to s

Price on Application – Contact us.The 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru is just a tiny bit smudged on the nose, but it rectifies that with aeration, offering disarming brambly red fruit, bergamot and potpourri scents, just a slight ferrous tincture in the background. The palate is fine-boned with pure red fruit, structured and slightly disjointed initially. Yet it coheres magnificently in the glass, so smooth. I was shocked when the vintage was revealed because this bo

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.There is a slightly cloudy aspect to the appearance. This has begun to turn secondary with overtly earthy and sauvage characters to the perfumed and pure aromas that lead to rich, punchy, intense and tautly muscular flavors that exude a fine minerality on the utterly delicious, balanced and long if robustl finish where a hint of wood surfaces. I have had two very different experiences with this wine as one bottle seemed relatively light and almost rea

Pinot Noir | Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy

Price on Application – Contact us.An exceptionally pretty, even perfumed nose is still relatively primary with its combination of various red berries, earth and soft earth and leather nuances. There is excellent size and weight to the seductively rich but overtly powerful big-bodied flavors that deliver outstanding length where the only minor nit is a touch of warmth. This remains notably robust and will need at least another 5 to 10 years to arrive at its full peak. In a word, impres

This is still a bit awkward but it should benefit from another 6 months in cask.

Price on Application – Contact us.Initially this opens with just enough reduction to push the fruit to the background so if you're going to try a bottle anytime soon I would strongly suggest decanting it first. Once the reduction clears off there are airy and cool notes of Asian-style green tea, truffle and an array of red berry fruit scents. The intense and intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors display excellent vibrancy on the beautifully long if ever-so-slightly edgy and y
