The 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru is superb, unfurling in the glass with a stunning bouquet that mingles aromas of smoky wild berries and cherries with savory bass notes of dark chocolate, grilled game and rich soil. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and multidimensional, with excellent depth and concentration, lively acids and a long, penetrating finish.
While the nose is quite firmly reduced the wonderfully refined and attractively pure medium weight flavors possess exquisite persistence on the tightly wound, focused and impeccably well-balanced finale that seems to be built on a base of liquid rock. The fruit is so fresh that it's also quite crunchy and overall, this is a Ruchottes of class and grace yet with no lack of muscle and punch.
