It has been some years since I last tasted the 2004 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Clos Saint Jacques from Armand Rousseau. Tasted blind, I instantly nailed the vintage because of that unmistakable stemmy note on the nose - green bell pepper. Underneath that is a light floral scent with bay leaf and broom. The palate is brittle in texture with chalky tannin, hints of licorice surfacing toward the linear, conservative finish that to be honest, was completely out-performed by the 1993 Clos Saint Jacques on this occasion. It's not at all bad for 2004, but there are better vintages out there.

Cask sample. Relatively light crimson. Serious, traditional Burgundy. A fascinating contrast with the same wine from Fourrier. Beautiful texture and density. Lots of clear and intriguing fruit. Long-term pleasure, but very good now, too! Layers. Long.
