Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes 2023

The 2023 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes is pretty and ethereal, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries mingled with rose petals, orange oil and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and weightless, with racy acids, melting tannins and a saline finish, it's one of the highlights of the range. 93-96 pts. William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 

An exuberantly spicy nose reflects notes of distinctly cool red currant, dark cherry, wet stone and a hint of violet. The super-sleek and almost pungently mineral-driven middle weight flavors conclude in a markedly austere, compact and beautifully long finale. This is pretty much classic Ruchottes and while it's not especially dense, the sheer class and grace is undeniable. 93-95 pts, Allen Meadows, Burghound
