Delicate red berries, pomegranate and a touch of citrus zest glide from the glass in Rousseau’s 2016 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques, all wrapped in subtly polished oak. The palate feels feather-light yet quietly powerful, with silken tannins and a long, focused finish that carries a fine, mouthwatering hint of orange peel. This is a graceful, refined expression of a highly regarded vintage that promises real sophistication at the table and in the cellar.

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques Premier Cru is a benchmark Côte de Nuits Pinot Noir, sourced from a cool, combe-influenced premier cru that the domaine farms in several parcels. Typically showing luminous red and dark berry fruit—often cherry and raspberry—etched by fine minerality, spice and a touch of earth, it marries Rousseau’s silken tannins and understated oak with a spine of freshness that gives the wine both immediate charm and notable ageing potential.
