Lot 335 Details
DOMAINE ARMAND ROUSSEAU GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN CLOS ST. JACQUES 1996

Côte de Nuits. Premier Cru Classé
scuffed label

I have long considered the 1996 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint-Jacques from Armand Rousseau to be a brilliant wine, though it is a few years since we last met. Here, it had a broody and surprisingly youthful bouquet: dark berry fruit, juniper berries, briary and sous-bois aromas. Captivating...but serious! The palate is medium-bodied with that impressive fruit concentration although it has clearly mellowed in recent years. There remains a firmness and an obduracy, yet also wondrous harmony and compose, almost effortless in nature as it gently fans out on the finish. As I said before, this has a long future. Tasted November 2016. Drink: 2017-2037 WA 96
