Where the 2002 grapes grew

Clos Saint-Jacques covers 6.70 ha and faces south-east, near the Combe Lavaux. It is split into five strips that run down the slope. The owners are Rousseau, Fourrier, Jadot, Bruno Clair and Esmonin.

Rousseau owns 2.21 ha, about one third of the Clos and the largest single holding. The domaine bought its parcel in 1954 from the Comte de Moucheron, in the name of Charles Rousseau, son of founder Armand Rousseau. The soil changes with the slope: Ostrea acuminata marl at the top, Bajocian crinoidal limestone at mid-slope, Prémeaux limestone at the bottom.

How Rousseau works today

All of its vines are Pinot Noir. About 90% of the grapes are destemmed. After pressing, the wine goes by gravity into oak barrels from the Allier forest, and malolactic fermentation happens naturally in the cellar.

The estate ages its wines for 18 months with two rackings and usually bottles in April.
