Ruchottes Chambertin 2017 Christophe Roumier

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

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.

Winespectator (95)

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.
