Domaine Armand Rousseau is perhaps the most revered name in all of Burgundy — a family estate whose wines define what Gevrey-Chambertin is and can be at every level. The Clos de la Roche is a Grand Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis, just south of Gevrey — one of Burgundy's largest and most celebrated Grands Crus, and a wine that Rousseau produces from old vines with the same disciplined, transparent approach that characterizes everything at the estate. Cyrielle Rousseau continues the family tradition with impeccable fidelity. The 2014 vintage is at a beautiful moment of maturity: the primary fruit has integrated, the village's characteristic stony depth is coming forward, and the wine is drinking with an eloquence that great Pinot only achieves with real age. This is a rare opportunity.

"This is also moderately reduced and impossible to properly assess. Otherwise there is excellent volume to the equally muscular big-bodied flavors that are richer but don't quite have the same sense of underlying tension before terminating in a palate coating and quite firmly structured finish that delivers terrific length. This is a big but seamlessly well-balanced effort that should also amply repay extended cellaring."

"Bright medium red. Captivating nose offers aromas of cherry, brown spices, mocha, menthol and underbrush lifted by high notes of blood orange and flowers. Liqueur-like raspberry and spice flavors show outstanding precision and perfume thanks to a firm mineral spine. Finishes spicy, refined and very long, saturating the mouth without leaving any impression of weight. This really perks up the salivary glands. Rousseau owns a full hectare of Clos de la Roche in the lower part of the cru, just under Clos Saint-Denis, and another half a hectare higher up on the hillside." —Stephen Tanzer

"The 2014 Clos de la Roche Grand Cru has a fragrant bouquet, coquettish at first, then opening with wet limestone, Morello and cassis scents; it is very defined and focused though not powerful. The palate is silky smooth on the entry, beautifully poised with pure red cherries infused with orange sorbet and captivating mineralilé on the finish. This is one of the best Clos de la Roche that I have tasted from Rousseau in recent years." —Neal Martin

"Very attractive savoury nose already. Very juicy and lively with masses of tannin. Promising for the future. Eric Rousseau thinks this is less obviously Morey than usual."

Decanter

95 points

"Superbly scented wine showing Christmas spices, black fruit and floral notes with a silky texture and a black fruit finish. Absolutely fabulous texture."

Wine Spectator

94 points

"A mix of sweet, ripe cherry and berry fruit, with underlying stone and savory elements, mark this sleek, compact red. There is a vegetal aspect also, but overall, this is fresh, elegant and superlong on the finish."

More about Armand Rousseau Pere et Fils

Domaine Armand Rousseau ranks with Romanée-Conti and Leflaive—a name that's simply legendary. They own 10 vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, including an astounding 8 hectares of Grand Crus (Chambertin, Clos de Bèze) and 5.5 acres of the famed Premier Cru Clos St. Jacques. Eric Rousseau obsesses over limiting yields, destemming 90% of fruit, and 18 months in barrel (restrained new oak). These are textbook Burgundy-at-its-finest wines: disciplined, transparent, profound.

Tasting Profile

Mature and eloquent: dried rose, dark cherry, earth, truffle, forest floor, and stony minerality. Full-bodied with silky, integrated tannins and an extraordinarily long, complex finish.
