Domaine ARMAND ROUSSEAU PÈRE & FILS

Charles Rousseau was joined by his son Eric after he had finished his oenology studies at the University of Dijon. Eric may be soft-spoken in his manner, but he proved to be a dynamic agent of change while respecting the family tradition, making significant changes in the viticulture, including green harvesting as well as short pruning to reduce yields and an environmentally sustainable approach to working the vines. A thread of continuity tied together these first three generations, and since 2014 a fourth is in the picture with the arrival of Eric’s daughter, Cyrielle, after she gained international experience in wine production in Oregon, Australia and New Zealand.
