The 2001 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques is a Pinot Noir from the esteemed Burgundy region in France, specifically the Cote de Nuits sub-region and the Gevrey Chambertin appellation. Known for its deep red color, this wine offers a classic representation of its terroir, showcasing the skill of its producer, Domaine Armand Rousseau.

The wine has received high praise from reviewers, with Burghound awarding it a score of 93. This review highlights the wine's "knockout aromas" of intense black and red cherry fruit, along with cassis and a hint of new oak. Burghound notes the wine’s medium body, harmonious flavors, and racy minerality, lauding its ability to deliver finesse with a "real mid-palate punch." The review suggests that the wine can be enjoyed now, but might benefit from additional aging of 1 to 3 years. It is recommended to serve this wine cool to prevent the alcohol from becoming too noticeable.

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate gave the wine a score of 92 and described it as "a very pretty wine." The review mentions its bouquet of rose petal, cassis, red cherry, and new oak, complemented by a sweet forest floor aroma. On the palate, the wine is noted for its youthful yet expressive character, with a sweet core of succulent fruit and supple tannins. However, the review by William Kelley remarks that while the wine initially epitomizes Rousseau's elegant style, it may lack the intensity and concentration typically expected from this bottling.

Overall, the 2001 Domaine Armand Rousseau Gevrey Chambertin Clos St Jacques is a refined and expressive Pinot Noir, appreciated for its elegance and complexity, though some reviewers note room for further development.
