Domaine Armand Rousseau - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 'Clos des Ruchottes - 2017

The 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru has a pixelated bouquet that really expresses the limestone soils of this vineyard: subtle pressed iris scents infuse the red berry fruit, all with brilliant delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin. There is a fine bead of acidity here, again, a little spicy (the leitmotif throughout the Rousseau range) with impressive grip and persistence on the finish. Excellent. - Tasted November 2018 94-96 Points Neal Martin, Vinous.com
