Unique Opportunity To Invest In Armand Rousseau

Armand Rousseau is an iconic power brand in Burgundy and ranks among the absolute wine elite in beautiful company with Domaine Leroy, Domaine Leflaive and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Armand Rousseau is both coveted and unobtainable for the vast majority due to high price and micro production. And therefore, it is unique when rare Rousseau wines appear as investment opportunities.

The essence of this investment tip is not whether investing in wines from Domaine Armand Rousseau's best vineyards is a good idea. The essence is that the unique opportunity to invest in Rousseau is right now.

Rousseau is in short supply, and volumes are extremely scarce - even in the present investment tip. This, of course, also results in high prices. Read on to find out about Rousseau returns in the RareWine universe and the four wines you have the opportunity to invest in right now.

The Uncrowned King Of Gevrey-Chambertin - Armand Rousseau

It is not a new fact that Burgundy is home to some of the world's very best wines. In fact, Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most prestigious wine regions in Burgundy, and Domaine Armand Rousseau has long since proven its place at the absolute top.

At the beginning of the 1900s, the domain was founded by the 21-year-old Armand Rousseau. He inherited the family parcels in Gevrey-Chambertin, and after acquiring parcels at prestigious Charmes Chambertin, Clos de la Roche and Chambertin, Armand Rousseau began selling wines under his own name directly to the best restaurants.

Today the Rousseau family owns 15 hectares of vineyards mainly in Gevrey-Chambertin and a small part in Morey-Saint-Denis. The domain is operated by Eric Rousseau and his daughter Cyrille Rousseau, who carries on the legacy of Armand Rousseau. Of the 15 hectares, 8.5 hectares are classified at the highest level as Grand Cru and a further almost four hectares as Premier Cru. That in itself is an impressive holding from a Burgundy perspective, although it results in extremely low yields but sublime quality.

In this investment tip you can invest in wines from the mythical vineyards: Chambertin and Chambertin Clos de Beze.
