Domaine Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils Clos Saint-Jacques, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, France 2019

Clos Saint-Jacques, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru 2019 is a benchmark wine that often rivals Grand Cru quality, combining depth, finesse, and remarkable balance. The nose opens with layered aromas of dark cherry, black raspberry, violets, and subtle spice, underscored by hints of forest floor and mineral nuance. On the palate it is concentrated yet beautifully poised, with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and a core of pure red and black fruit that carries through to a long, precise finish. Powerful but elegant, this 2019 Clos Saint-Jacques is built for extended aging and stands as one of the finest expressions of Gevrey-Chambertin in the vintage.

"Sometimes the stars simply align. That is certainly the case at Rousseau in 2019, a truly extraordinary vintage at one of the world's most iconic estates. The 2019 Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St. Jacques ler Cru is captivating right out of the glass. Soaring aromatics, deep layers of cool, blue-toned fruits and the silkiest of tannins captivate all the senses, from the intellectual to the hedonistic. What a total turn-on." Vinous 97
