Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques 1. cru 2012

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques 1er Cru 2012 is a benchmark Burgundy Pinot Noir, prized for its precision, depth, and effortless elegance. Sourced from one of Gevrey-Chambertin’s most celebrated Premier Cru sites, it reflects the domaine’s legendary finesse and the pedigree of a vineyard long regarded as capable of producing wines of near-grand cru distinction.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby hue that hints at its concentration and refinement. The nose is layered and expressive, opening with red and black cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry, followed by floral notes, forest floor, subtle spice, and a delicate mineral edge. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced, combining ripe fruit, fresh acidity, and fine-grained tannins with a poised, structured feel. The finish is long and harmonious, and while already compelling, this 2012 has excellent aging potential, with time expected to bring out more tertiary complexity such as leather, tobacco, and earthy undergrowth.

Viininvalmistus
Clos St. Jacques sits on a highly regarded slope in Gevrey-Chambertin, where well-drained, stone-rich soils and an ideal exposure help produce Pinot Noir with both intensity and finesse. The 2012 vintage was marked by challenging weather, but careful vineyard work and selective harvesting allowed Domaine Armand Rousseau to work with fruit of strong concentration and quality. Vinification follows the domaine’s precise, traditional Burgundian approach, aimed at preserving purity of fruit, site expression, and fine structure.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine is an excellent match for dishes that complement its elegance and subtle power, such as roast duck, quail, pheasant, mushroom dishes, beef fillet, or game with earthy sauces. Serve it at around 16–18°C to show its aromatic detail and balance. Decanting is recommended if opening young, though a gentle decant is best to preserve the wine’s delicacy and complexity.
