The Ruchottes-Chambertin is glorious this year, offering up a classy bouquet of wild berry fruit, coniferous forest floor, truffle and violet, deftly framed by a touch of new oak, 70% new. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, cool and elegant, with superb depth and dimension, fine-grained tannins, and a vibrant core of fruit that lingers on the chalky, precise finish. Complete and effortless, after the power of this year’s Echezeaux the Ruchottes is more aloof, but it should be just as good in the fullness of time. (Drink between 2028-2050)
