Situated in Gevrey-Chambertin, Armand Rousseau is a well-established producer, known for its elegant and age-worthy wines. This is the domaine’s 2017 Les Cazetiers, a premier cru vineyard that lies just over the wall from the Clos Saint-Jacques. A pure and full-bodied expression, combining notes of red cherries, berries, peony, blood orange and a touch of cedarwood. The wine is approachable now but will develop more complexity over time.

Vinous
The 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin Les Cazetiers 1er Cru is already showing a little maturity on the rim, possibly due to assiduous stem addition. The nose is open-knit and soft with brambly red fruit, perhaps needing a bit more delineation. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry and quite fleshy in style, with moderate acidity and a dash of white pepper. Plenty of extraction here. This just needs to develop a tad more tension and terroir expression on the finish. Otherwise it displays immense breeding. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.Neal Martin1st January 2022
