Domaine Armand Rousseau - Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru 'Lavaux St-Jacques' - 2018

Here reduction knocks down the nose but there is lovely freshness and verve to the muscular medium-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract that helps to buffer the markedly firm tannic spine shaping the dusty, serious and youthfully austere finale. This is very promising and it should make for an excellent LSJ in time. - Tasted January 2020 90-93 Points, Outstanding Allen Meadows, Burghound
