Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2023 - Armand Rousseau

The Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques 2023 from Domaine Armand Rousseau is an iconic Burgundy red wine from one of the most prestigious premier crus in Gevrey Chambertin, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, this great wine perfectly embodies the nobility of the terroir and the legendary style of Domaine Armand Rousseau, the absolute benchmark for great Burgundy wines.

Clos Saint Jacques, often considered a true grand cru in its own right, is planted on complex soils combining limestone and marl, which give the wine depth, finesse and longevity. The 2023 vintage, marked by a beautiful balance between maturity and freshness, offers a particularly pure and elegant expression of Pinot Noir. The nose reveals intense aromas of fresh red and black fruits, cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant, accompanied by floral notes, fine spices and a subtle minerality.

On the palate, this Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru 2023 stands out for its silky texture, precise tannic structure, remarkable freshness and deep aromatic length. The balance between concentration and elegance is remarkable, offering a wine that is racy, complex and harmonious.

This great Burgundy red wine pairs perfectly with fine red meats, roast lamb, delicate game or refined gourmet cuisine. Served at around 15 to 16 degrees, it can be enjoyed young after aeration, but above all has exceptional ageing potential of 20 to 30 years, during which time it will gain in complexity and depth.

A rare and sought-after Gevrey Chambertin Premier Cru Clos Saint Jacques 2023 Armand Rousseau, a must for lovers of exceptional Pinot Noir, symbolising the pinnacle of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits.
