2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin "Clos des Ruchottes" Grand Cru

The 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru is one of my favorite aromatics from Rousseau, one you instantly fall in love with - real frisson, red berry fruit laced with shucked oyster shell. The palate is very well-balanced, framed by filigree tannins. There is real tension from start to finish, as you expect from this vineyard, finishing with immense precision. Fabulous wine.

Always the most ethereal wine in the cellar, Rousseau's 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, peonies, orange zest, sweet spices and cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with lively acids and a pretty core of pure fruit, it could hardly be more different from the Mazy-Chambertin, even though the two parcels aren't very far apart.
