Armand Rousseau, Gevrey Chambertin Clos Saint Jacques 1er Cru, 2001
🏰news | features + short tasting note IN ENGLISH
【Domaine Armand Rousseau's Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques 2001 is one of Burgundy's most revered Premier Crus, celebrated for its elegance, complexity, and exceptional aging potential.】 The 2001 Burgundy vintage was a challenging year for winemakers, with a mercurial spring giving way to a steadfast and warm summer, laying the groundwork for an exceptional harvest. The Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard is known for its unique terroir and the use of nearly 100% new oak, which adds considerable allure to the wine. The wine displays a good medium red color with a very mild bricking at the edge. The captivating aroma offers strawberry, coffee, rose petal, cedary new oak, and sweet forest floor notes. The palate is youthful but expressive, with a sweet, almost candied core of succulent fruit, framed by supple tannins. It also reveals layers of marinated cherries, earthy undergrowth, and a subtle hint of truffle and spices. The finish is long, subtle, and aromatic, with an impression of finer tannins.
