Tasting notes
The 2021 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru is much more introspective on the nose compared to the Clos de la Roche or Mazy, displaying dark berry fruit, loam and blackcurrant pastilles. Maybe not quite the mineralité of previous vintages? The palate is medium-bodied with orange rind and allspice on the entry. Showing fine weight, there's a little sinew within this cuvée and a tobacco-tinged finish. Quite a "serious" 2021 from Rousseau - I am fascinated to see how this will show once in bottle.

Pure and perfumed, the 2021 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes opens in the glass with aromas of red fruit compote, peonies, spices and smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple palate that's vibrant and precise.
