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.

Histoire de la parcelle
The climat appears under the old spelling "Castiers" in Jules Lavalle's classification published in 1855. Lavalle ranked Les Cazetiers, alongside Clos Saint-Jacques, in the First Class among the terroirs of Gevrey. Its current status as a Premier Cru climat is enshrined in the specifications of the Gevrey-Chambertin AOC.
