Domaine Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru 2004 is a red Burgundy from the Grand Cru Chambertin climat in Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, bottled at 750mL with a very slightly torn label from handling. The wine, cork and capsule are otherwise intact and the condition reflects cellar handling rather than fill issues.
About This Wine
The 2004 Côte de Nuits vintage was a classically structured year across Burgundy that produced Pinot Noir with bright acidity, fine-grained tannin and a long, balanced finish in Gevrey-Chambertin. Armand Rousseau’s 2004 Chambertin was drawn from the Grand Cru climat, vinified at the domaine cellars in Gevrey-Chambertin and aged in French oak before bottling. A very small tear on the label is a cosmetic flaw from cellar handling that does not affect fill, cork or capsule.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Cherry, raspberry, spice and gentle forest floor, with the savoury character typical of aged Gevrey-Chambertin.
- Palate: Pinot-led structure with fine tannin, red-fruit core and the Rousseau signature of aromatic lift.
- Finish: Savoury and long, with cherry, gentle oak spice and mineral close.
Serving & Food
Stand the bottle upright for several hours before opening and decant carefully off any sediment. Serve at 16 to 18 degrees in a broad red-wine glass alongside a slow-braised shoulder of guinea fowl.
How to Enjoy
Open at a serious vintage tasting where mature 2004 Grand Cru character from Gevrey-Chambertin can lead the discussion.

About the Domaine
The Rousseau family has led Domaine Armand Rousseau through three generations, with Eric Rousseau today running the estate in partnership with his daughter Cyrielle, who has worked alongside him since 2014. Viticulture and vinification follow a traditional Burgundian approach, with measured whole-cluster inclusion and long elevage in French oak across the red wine range. The cellars in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin handle all production, from village Gevrey-Chambertin through the Premier Cru and Grand Cru bottlings.
