Domaine Armand Rousseau’s approach lies in the unconditional love for Burgundy’s terroirs. In Burgundy, the Climats designate each vineyard plot. Identified and demarcated by monks over a thousand years ago, each Climat is unique due to the disparity in exposure, the variations in slopes, the different compositions of the limestone soils, and the climatic conditions of the vintage. The estate’s mission is to faithfully capture the aromatic palette of the wines: the soul of each Climat.

The Rousseau family has been cultivating the vineyards in Burgundy for four generations, sharing the same passion and cultivating the finest terroirs of the Côte de Nuits. Eric runs the estate with the help of his daughter, Cyrielle. Over the years, the estate has grown and now cultivates an area of ​​15.33 hectares, including 3 hectares of Village Appellation, 3.77 hectares of Premier Cru Appellation, and 8.51 hectares of Grand Cru Appellation, located in the Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis regions.

Each Pinot Noir grape contains its own unique elements. It embodies the identity of its terroir. Each grape is observed, nurtured, and cherished to ensure it reaches optimal phenolic and organoleptic maturity. While simple Guyot pruning is practiced throughout the vineyard, located on hillsides with east or southeast exposure on clay-limestone soils, the vines are cultivated traditionally, with yields of 30 to 40 hectoliters per hectare.
