Always the most ethereal wine in the cellar, Rousseau's 2022 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, peonies, orange zest, sweet spices and cocoa. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and vibrant, with lively acids and a pretty core of pure fruit, it could hardly be more different from the Mazy-Chambertin, even though the two parcels aren't very far apart.
Cask sample. Mid ruby. Sweet nose of raspberry and cassis. Elegant, fresh acidity seamlessly integrated into the lush, sweet palate. Acidity almost passes unremarked. Fine tannins. Balanced and complete. (MH)
