酒廠成立於二十世紀初，創始者 Armand Rousseau 從一個小地農辛耘經營葡萄園，繼 1920 年 d’Angerville 首創自有品牌裝瓶後，在 1930 年 Armand Rousseau 也開本地風氣之先，以自家名字裝瓶銷售。1959 年由其子 Charles 接手，造就今日的輝煌成就。而 Charles 之子 Eric 也在80 年代開始加入，協助高齡 80 多歲的 Charles 釀酒。老莊主Charles去世之後，現由兒子及女兒接手。

Grand Cru Red
Tasting note: It had been almost 10 years since I last tasted this and it has become an impressive wine and particularly so because of the superb complexity. The nose has turned largely secondary in character with plenty of spice, earth, game and dried red berry fruit characters. There is fine density to the rich, muscular and quite powerful medium-bodied flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the beautifully long finish where the only nit is a touch of backend astringency. No, the balance isn't perfect but as I already mentioned, the sheer depth more than compensates for the slight tannic edge. For my taste this has arrived at its full maturity though it should hold effortlessly for years to come.
