Tasting notes
The 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru offers an irresistible mélange of red and black fruit, hints of black tea leaves and bay, all delivered with stunning delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, precise red fruit tinged with pencil lead, surfeit with mineralité as you want from this vineyard and conveying such brightness and vivacity on the finish that you cannot help but be seduced. Just on the opening pages of its story.

Notes of red berries and plums mingle with hints of rose petals, peonies, grilled meats and forest floor in an inviting bouquet, introducing Rousseau's 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes, a medium to full-bodied, bright and lively wine that's ethereal and perfumed, with a pretty core of fruit and a long, saline finish.
