Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2020 AOC 0.75l

Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin 2020 AOC 0.75l is a bottle embodying the memory of a terroir steeped in sunny slopes, clay and limestone soils, and a winemaking philosophy that emphasizes slowness, precision, and respect for the vines. It comes from select vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the heart of Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, where the expert hand of the winemaker applies practices that preserve the purity of the fruit while offering structure and longevity to the wine. The producer, rooted in the family tradition and intertwined with the history of the region, tells a story of meticulous care of the vines, of handed down traditions, and a constant quest for authenticity. The daily care of the cellar is expressed through careful management of the terroir, integrating the right timing and attention to detail. The production philosophy is based on low yields, manual harvesting, fermentations guided by the character of the must, and a carefully calibrated maceration. Aged in tonneaux and barrels of various origins, these barrels extract silky tannins without weighing down the aromatic profile. The result is a Gevrey-Chambertin that offers a palette of ripe red cherries, raspberries, spicy notes, mineral graphite, and a hint of violet. On the palate, it stands out for its balance between freshness and substance, a smooth tannic texture, and a persistent minerality that promises evolution over time. Compared to other wines from the same area, this 2020 Gevrey-Chambertin stands out for its clean lines and precise detail, born from the attention to selected vineyards and an aging process that enhances the aromatic structure without sacrificing the vitality of the fruit. Within the Domaine Armand Rousseau range, this label occupies a prominent place as an expression of accessible yet profound terroir, offering a serious entry point to Gevrey-Chambertin without sacrificing complexity and longevity, ideal for accompanying moments of reflection or for slow maturation in the bottle, and finishing with an elegant and memorable cleanliness that reflects the STELT positioning.
