The finest rendition of this cuvée to date is the 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru, a lovely wine that wafts from the glass with notes of red berries, plums, blood orange, peonies and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, layered and velvety, with an ample core of lively, perfumed fruit that almost entirely conceals the wine's rich structuring tannins, it concludes with a long and expansive finish.

The 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru offers brambly dark berry fruit on the nose, wilted rose petal, incense and just a hint of oyster shell. With fine depth and a sapid entry, the palate is well balanced, but it’s the freshness and nerve of this Grand Cru that really elevates it. Mineral-rich and pleasing on the finish, there is a strictness here that is satisfying. This will age supremely well in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting.
