Domain Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin 2018
The 2018 Domaine Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin is a red Burgundy wine classified under the Village appellation, crafted in Gevrey-Chambertin by Domaine Rousseau. Made from 100% Pinot Noir, it comes from a blend of eight plots belonging to the estate, supplemented each year by declassified Premier Cru grapes. The estate's vines dedicated to this cuvée cover 1.68 hectares and have an eastern exposure. This expression of Gevrey-Chambertin thus combines the identity of a blended parcel cuvée with the structure characteristic of village wines.

Histoire du domaine
Armand Rousseau acquired his first vineyard plots in Gevrey-Chambertin in 1902, upon coming of age. Born into a family with links to viticulture, cooperage and wine trading, he gradually built up the estate in the early 20th century. Following his marriage in 1909, he expanded his wine-growing holdings. In particular, the estate acquired vineyards in Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin and Clos de la Roche. Armand Rousseau also developed the estate’s own bottling operations during the interwar period. In 1954, the Clos Saint-Jacques Premier Cru was acquired in the name of his son Charles. Following Armand Rousseau’s accidental death in 1959, Charles took over the estate, which at that time comprised six hectares, and continued to develop it. Éric Rousseau joined his father in 1982 after studying oenology, and subsequently took over the running of the estate. Today, he manages it alongside his daughter Cyrielle, who represents the fourth generation of the family.
