Armand Rousseau Chambertin Grand Cru 2004 is a Burgundy Grand Cru Pinot Noir from Domaine Armand Rousseau, bottled at 750mL and flagged with a very slightly torn label. The 2004 vintage in Burgundy produced classically proportioned, structured wines that reward cellaring.
From the Producer
Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of the most historic family-run estates in Gevrey-Chambertin, founded in the early 20th century by Armand Rousseau himself and now continued by his descendants, including Eric Rousseau, who has run the domaine since the 1980s. The domaine farms parcels across several of the Côte de Nuits' most celebrated Grand Cru and Premier Cru sites, including Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques and the monopole Clos de la Roche.
Rousseau's house style in red Burgundy emphasises whole-cluster fermentation, restrained new oak and long élevage, producing Pinot Noir bottlings known for their perfume, structure and ageworthiness. The 2004 vintage in Burgundy is widely seen as a classically structured year, producing wines of acidity and tension rather than the more generous profile of the 2005 and 2009 vintages.
Tasting Profile
The 2004 vintage reads as classic, structured Burgundy, with red cherry, raspberry, savoury oak, mineral lift and a long finish from the Grand Cru Chambertin site. Rousseau's bottlings from this site are known for their depth and ageworthiness.
Best For
Suited to Burgundy collectors building a Rousseau Grand Cru vertical at value pricing relative to pristine-label bottles, who are comfortable with cosmetic label wear.
