History

This domain owns 15 hectares of premier and grand crus vineyards, and only produces pinot noir. The domain was created at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau, at the tender age of 18, after inheriting several plots of vineyard in Gevrey Chambertin.

Armand’s son, Charles Rousseau, took over the domain in 1959 and further enhanced its reputation for producing exceptional wines. He continued to acquire additional vineyards, including the coveted Clos Saint-Jacques vineyard, further solidifying the estate’s standing in Burgundy. Charles was highly respected for his meticulous approach to viticulture and winemaking. The vineyards are managed with meticulous care, adhering to traditional and sustainable practices, including hand-harvesting and low-intervention winemaking.

Domaine Armand Rousseau has established itself as one of the most respected and sought-after producers in Burgundy. The limited production and high demand for their wines contribute to their exclusivity and premium pricing. They are highly coveted by collectors and Burgundy enthusiasts worldwide.
