Clos Saint-Jacques: the vineyard and Rousseau’s share

Clos Saint-Jacques covers 6.70 ha in Gevrey-Chambertin. It is cut into five strips running down the slope, owned by Rousseau, Fourrier, Jadot, Bruno Clair and Esmonin. Rousseau holds 2.21 ha, about one third of the Clos and the largest single holding.

Armand Rousseau bought the parcel in 1954, in the name of his son Charles, after the Comte de Moucheron sold the Clos, until then a single-owner monopole, to several buyers in 1954. The vineyard faces south-east, near the Combe Lavaux. The vineyard has marl at the top of the slope, crinoidal limestone at mid-slope and Prémeaux limestone at the bottom.

Making Clos Saint-Jacques at Rousseau: 18 months in Allier oak

The estate in Gevrey-Chambertin grows only Pinot Noir. At the estate, fermentation runs for about 18 to 20 days in open stainless-steel vats, and about 90% of the grapes are destemmed. Wines age 18 months in Allier oak with two rackings and are usually bottled in April. The estate ages its Clos Saint-Jacques in 70 to 80% new oak.

Eric Rousseau, the founder’s grandson, runs the estate with his daughter Cyrielle, the fourth generation.
