RATINGS

97The Wine Advocate

...scents of raspberries, peonies, blood orange, licorice, sweet spices and rose petals, it's full-bodied, layered and complete, with a velvety attack that segues into a vibrant, multidimensional mid-palate that's framed by melting tannins and succulent acids. Concluding with a long, perfumed finish...

96-98Vinous / IWC

...wet limestone suffusing the dark berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with filigreed tannins. There is an electric line of acidity here, and superb mineralité and symmetry toward a persistent finish that lingers long in the mouth. Very sweet, almost candied on the aftertaste. Just bloomin’ gorgeous.

94+ John Gilman

The bouquet is deep and quite classical in profile, offering up scents of cassis, dark berries, roasted meats, dark soil tones, espresso, bonfires and spicy new oak. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and rock solid at the core, with tangy acids, firm tannins and excellent balance on the long and nascently complex finish.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Gevrey-Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin

Ruchottes-Chambertin is an 8.1-acre Grand Cru vineyard in Gevrey-Chambertin. Located just north of Mazis-Chambertin, the soil is thin and rocky and the slope is steep. In fact the name Ruchottes comes from “rochers,” or rocks. The principal proprietors are Armand Rousseau, 2.5 acres; Mugneret-Gibourg, 1.6 acres; and Frederic Esmonin, 1.45 acres. Fewer than 1,000 cases of wine are produced annually from this vineyard.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
