Rousseau’s Chambertin parcels and cellar work

The domaine holds 2.55 ha in Chambertin. The wine comes from three east-facing parcels and a fourth, called Larrey, at the edge of the woods, which can only be worked with a horse and plough.

Across all its vineyards, the average vine age is about 40 to 45 years, with 11,000 vines per hectare. About 90% of its grapes are destemmed. After pressing, the wine goes by gravity into oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation happens naturally. Chambertin is aged in 100% new oak, and all of the estate’s wines spend 18 months in barrel with two rackings before bottling, usually in April.
