Armand Rousseau Clos Saint-Jacques 2005: a 97-point Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru

Clos Saint-Jacques and the Rousseau parcel

Rousseau holds 2.21 ha of Clos Saint-Jacques, about one third of the 6.70 ha vineyard and the largest single holding. At 2.21 ha it is also the largest of the estate’s three Premier Cru holdings, which total 3.77 ha. The Clos lies in Gevrey-Chambertin, faces south-east near the Combe Lavaux and is split into five strips running down the slope, owned by Rousseau, Fourrier, Jadot, Bruno Clair and Esmonin.

The Comte de Moucheron owned the Clos as one property in the 19th century and sold it in 1954 to four separate owners. Armand Rousseau bought the domaine’s parcel that year in the name of his son Charles. Clos Saint-Jacques is not a Grand Cru, although Gevrey-Chambertin has nine Grand Cru appellations. The Comte de Moucheron refused the Grand Cru classification. The soils are Ostrea acuminata marl at the top, Bajocian crinoidal limestone at mid-slope and Prémeaux limestone at the bottom.

Estate winemaking and 70–80% new oak for Clos Saint-Jacques

The estate ages Clos Saint-Jacques in 70 to 80% new oak on average, for 18 months with two rackings. Fermentation runs for about 18 to 20 days in open stainless-steel vats, with pumping over and punching down. About 90% of the grapes are destemmed. The wine then goes by gravity into Allier oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation takes place naturally.

Bottling usually follows in April after a light plate filtration. The vines average about 40 to 45 years old and are planted at 11,000 per hectare.

The 2005 vintage in the Côte de Nuits

The Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart scores red Côte de Nuits 2005 at 98 and marks it “T”, meaning still tannic or youthful. That chart score covers the whole region and is a separate measure from the 97/100 given to this bottle. Our suggested drinking window is 2025 to 2065, so the wine is now inside it.
