Domaine Armand Rousseau, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques, 2016
Domaine Armand Rousseau's Lavaux Saint-Jacques rounds out the estate's trio of Premier Cru Gevrey — a vineyard on the northern slope of the village whose clay-limestone soils produce a wine of different character from the Clos Saint-Jacques: broader, more generous, with a darker fruit profile and slightly more structural heft. Rousseau's approach remains the same across the range: old vines, transparent winemaking, no manipulation. The 2016 vintage delivered wines of exceptional freshness and aging potential across Burgundy; this one is still years from its peak. To hold both Gevrey Premier Crus side by side — the Clos Saint-Jacques and the Lavaux — is to understand the precision of Burgundy's terroir classification.
