A comment just a few days old from a well-known London Vintner :-
"This year, we have been fortunate to have tasted an array of young and old vintages from the legendary Domaine Armand Rousseau.
What has really been highlighted throughout all the wines is the consistent high quality throughout the years - not just the great vintages.
This is something we experience with truly prolific producers : you don't get good and bad wines - just great and exceptional ones !"
Notes on this wine are very thin on the ground !
An old one from CellarTracker :-
By Bill Nanson
(Rousseau Armand Clos de la Roche) Medium ruby with obvious bricking at the rim. There's an undertow of red fruit, but the dominant note is of vanilla. The palate is sweet, has good concentration of black cherry and the tannins are absolutely smooth and 'ready'. The vanilla comes through on the palate too, but still very good (Jan 2003)

Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy's oldest and most revered family-run domains. They hold many grand cru plots in Gevrey-Chambertin as well as part of the much sought-after premier cru vineyard Clos Saint-Jacques.
Founded at the start of the 20th Century by Gevrey native Armand Rousseau, the domaine initially owned small plots of vines throughout Gevrey-Chambertin. Over the next 100 years under both Armand Rousseau and his son Charles, who took over after the death of his father in 1959, the Domaine acquired various grand cru vineyards in Charmes-, Mazis- and Mazoyères-Chambertin, culminating in a plot in Le Chambertin itself in 1994.
Typically Burgundian, these wines are built to last. Old vines and careful winemaking to allow for the expression of the terroir makes for elegant, pure wines with red and black fruit aromas. Oak is used sparingly.
