The 2013 Domaine Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru hails from a vineyard exclusive to the Domaine, characterized by its rocky, shallow, and unfertile terrain. This unique terroir imparts a light, nuanced color and a fine, elegant body to the wines, which are renowned for their mineral character, incredible delicacy, and exquisite expression of their origin. The 2013 vintage in Burgundy was described as "fascinating and challenging" yet ultimately yielded "good to truly exceptional" wines. Expect a refined bouquet of strawberry, raspberry preserve, fine minerality, and a touch of undergrowth. On the palate, it offers outstanding delineation and intensity, with refined, pure medium-bodied flavors, deceptively pliant tannins, and a saline-inflected finish that feels "constructed from liquid stone," leading to a wonderfully long and pure conclusion. Some tasters also note red fruit, fully integrated tannins, and abundant energy. 【Exclusive Clos des Ruchottes vineyard, yielding mineral, delicate, and fine wines with exquisite terroir expression】. 🍴 This Grand Cru Burgundy is a superb partner for sophisticated dishes.
