Founded at the start of the 20th century, Armand Rousseau is a leading wine producer in Burgundy, currently managed by Eric Rousseau with the assistance of his daughter Cyriell. The Domaine is based in Gevrey-Chambertin and consists of approximately 15 hectares, over half of which is situated in Grand Cru sites. This release comes from Ruchottes-Chambertin, one of Gevrey-Chambertin`s lesser-known Grand Cru sites. The 1998 vintage produced reds that were firm and tightly structured in their youth but are now showing their true potential.

The 1998 Ruchottes Chambertin from Domaine Armand Rousseau exemplifies the finesse and depth that the Ruchottes-Chambertin terroir can bring to Pinot Noir. With a balance between ripe red fruit flavors and earthy, underbrush tones, it offers complexity and elegance, promising longevity and a rewarding tasting experience over the years. Notes of ripe cherries, blackberries, earth, and hints of spice and oak. Medium to full-bodied with a long, elegant finish. Not specified, but wines from this producer and vineyard are highly acclaimed.

Ruchottes Chambertin is part of the Grand Cru vineyards in the Burgundy wine region, known for producing some of the finest and most expressive Pinot Noir wines in the world.

A small-scale, passionate winemaker from the Burgundy region in France, Michel Bonnefond is known for producing high-quality, limited quantity wines with a focus on expressing the unique terroir of each vineyard site.
