Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 1. cru 2002

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux St. Jacques 2002 is a superb expression of one of Burgundy’s most respected Premier Cru sites. From a cooler, more elevated part of Gevrey-Chambertin, this 100% Pinot Noir combines finesse, structure, and a quiet power that makes it especially compelling for collectors and Burgundy lovers alike.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, it shows a beautiful ruby-red color that has begun to soften with age into a more graceful hue. The nose is layered and expressive, with ripe red and dark berries such as cherry and blackcurrant, followed by notes of forest floor, spice, and a refined mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is structured yet nuanced, with well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity, and a depth that reflects its distinguished terroir. Ripe fruit is balanced by earthy and subtly spicy tones, leading to a long, persistent finish. It has excellent aging potential, but is also enjoyable now for its mature complexity; further cellaring may bring out tertiary notes of leather, truffle, and tobacco.

Viininvalmistus
Lavaux St. Jacques lies in the cooler northern section of Gevrey-Chambertin, where the limestone-rich soils and slightly more restrained climate help produce wines of elegance, precision, and remarkable aromatic depth. The vintage 2002 was widely regarded as excellent in Burgundy, with favorable growing conditions that allowed the grapes to reach ideal ripeness. While detailed vinification specifics are not provided, this wine is made from 100% Pinot Noir and reflects the careful, traditional approach associated with the estate.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This wine pairs beautifully with dishes that complement its earthy depth and refined structure, such as duck breast, roast pigeon, veal, mushroom-based dishes, or game birds. It is best served slightly cool, around 16–18°C, and may benefit from decanting for a short period if opened young, though an older bottle should be handled gently and tasted before decanting.
