Gevrey-Chambertin Clos St Jacques Armand Rousseau 2006 is a Premier Cru red wine from the Côte de Nuits. This magnum comes from a steep slope with white marl and limestone soils, often regarded as equal to Grand Cru status. In 2006, the wine was aged in 75% new oak barrels after a season challenged by hail, which required rigorous fruit selection. It expresses a complex bouquet of red fruits and iodine, while an austere and energetic palate gives way to a persistent finish.
