Rousseau’s 2.21 ha, the largest share of the Clos

Clos Saint-Jacques covers 6.70 ha. Rousseau owns 2.21 ha, about one third of it, bought by Armand Rousseau in 1954 in the name of his son Charles, when the Comte de Moucheron sold the Clos in 1954 to four new owners. The vineyard faces south-east, near the Combe Lavaux, and is a Premier Cru, not a Grand Cru, in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin. The slope runs from marl at the top to crinoidal limestone at mid-slope and Prémeaux limestone at the bottom.
