ARMAND ROUSSEAU Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques

WA: (95-97)

Aromas of dark berries, cherries, plums, burning embers, loamy soil and black truffles, framed by a patina of toasty new oak, introduce Rousseau's 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques, a full-bodied, deep and layered wine with a velvety attack that segues into a concentrated, tightly wound core, concluding with a long, penetrating finish. This is a serious Clos Saint-Jacques that's built for the long haul.

WS: 96

This packs intense perfume from the first sniff, featuring violet, black cherry, black currant and licorice aromas. Dark berry flavors permeate the lush texture, while lively acidity and dusty tannins lend support. Flamboyant, yet difficult to resist its charm. Best from 2026 through 2045.
