Founded at the beginning of the 20th century by Armand Rousseau, the estate was built parcel by parcel in the heart of Gevrey’s greatest terroirs: Chambertin, Clos de Bèze, Clos Saint-Jacques, Ruchottes, Mazis. It is today one of Burgundy’s absolute icons. 1982 is also the year when Éric Rousseau, the founder’s grandson, joined the estate alongside his father Charles.

The Gevrey-Chambertin village from the estate is regarded as a reference for the appellation, famed for the purity of its fruit. 1982 is a vintage generous in volume in Burgundy, with soft and accessible wines rather than wines for very long aging. At 44 years old, this bottle speaks to Pinot lovers who fully appreciate evolved wine: forest floor, mushrooms, leather, dried red fruits, tea. It’s a rare chance to taste a Rousseau from before the era of speculation.
