Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru 2018

750ml. An absolutely gorgeous nose reflects cool and pure aromas of the essence of red berry liqueur, spice and soft floral scents. The lilting and mineral-driven middle weight flavors retain excellent delineation and a sophisticated mouthfeel while the sneaky long if decidedly firm finish possesses outstanding complexity. This powerful yet sophisticated and refined Zen-like effort is exceptionally promising. Drink 2036+. 94 Points. Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, January 2021.

Unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries, violets, raspberries and rose hips, the 2018 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes is the most ethereal wine in the cellar. Medium to full-bodied, racy and fine-boned, its delicate chassis of chalky structuring tannins is cloaked in fleshy but succulent fruit. 92-94 Points. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate, January 2020.
