A remarkable wine that embodies their family values and strong work ethic - the Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques Magnum 1.5L 2019.

Managed by Eric Rousseau, the domain has grown over the years and now spans 15 hectares and 3 acres, boasting a range of exceptional wines from Village to Grand Crus appellations. But what sets the Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques Magnum 1.5L 2019 apart is not only its outstanding quality but also its impressive magnum bottle size.

Magnum bottles, which hold 1.5 litres of wine, are often associated with celebrations and special occasions.

Review

Here too there is just enough wood to warrant mentioning framing the exceptionally spicy red berry fruit and floral-suffused aromas. There is fine density to the sleekly muscular and intense flavours that are blessed with a fine mid-palate concentration on the tightly wound and sneaky long finish that is both balanced and notably firm, which should enable this to evolve and improve for at least two decades. There is a hint of warmth but it's not enough to really detract from the overall sense of harmony. In a word, impressive.

It is a fresh terroir, very harmonious. The tannins are strong and well integrated, with the dominant aromas of cassis and blackberries. The wine is powerful and intense on the palate.
