SINCE 2007

Armand Rousseau was born in 1884, he inherited several vineyard plots and the current domaine building in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin as part of his wedding in 1909.

After rapid expansion in vineyard holdings, with purchases in Charmes-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin in the late 1910s and 1920s, the domaine began to bottle and sell its own wine in the 1930s, Armand Rousseau was among the first few producers to bottle his own wine in Burgundy, with the majority of other growers in the region selling their wines to négociant businesses to bottle and sell, Rousseau was also a pioneer within Burgundy in selling his wine to the United States market after the end of prohibition in the mid to late 1930s.

Further vineyard acquisitions were made with plots purchased in Mazis Chambertin in 1937, Mazoyéres-Chambertin in 1940 and Clos Saint Jacques in 1954 as well as two additional plots in the Chambertin vineyard in 1943 and 1956.
