Rousseau Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2001 from Gevrey-Chambertin

Armand Rousseau bought the Mazoyères parcel in 1940, and its grapes go into the domaine’s 2001 Charmes-Chambertin together with those of two Charmes parcels. The wine is a Pinot Noir and a Grand Cru: Charmes-Chambertin is an appellation in the commune of Gevrey-Chambertin, created on 31 July 1937.

Where the Charmes-Chambertin vines grow

The domaine’s Charmes-Chambertin comes from two parcels in Charmes-Chambertin and one in Mazoyères-Chambertin. The two names share the same defined area, and the estate sells its Mazoyères grapes as Charmes-Chambertin. The estate’s Charmes-Chambertin holding totals 1.47 ha. The whole appellation covers 27.76 ha.

The Mazoyères parcel is Comblanchien limestone with fine gravel from the Combe Grisard. The Charmes parcels sit on crinoidal limestone upslope and Comblanchien limestone further down. The vines across the estate’s vineyards average about 40 to 45 years old.

How Rousseau makes Charmes-Chambertin

Domaine Armand Rousseau is based in Gevrey-Chambertin, in the Côte de Nuits, Burgundy. Charmes-Chambertin is not one of the four wines the estate ages in new oak: it spends 18 months in Allier barrels that have held one previous wine (current estate practice). Fermentation takes place in open stainless-steel vats for 18 to 20 days.
