If Burgundy has a small number of domaines that can be considered ‘royalty’, then Domaine Armand Rousseau is most certainly one of them. Gevrey-Chambertin’s most prestigious producer is the owner of prime plots in many of the grand cru and premier cru vineyards, and their Chambertin, Clos de Bèze, Ruchottes and Clos St Jacques are considered the benchmarks for their respective appellations.
Armand started the domaine back in the 1930s, but today it is his son Charles and grandson Eric that are in charge.
