Ruchottes-Chambertin "Clos des Ruchottes" Grand Cru 2005 Domaine Armand Rousseau
The Ruchottes-Chambertin "Clos des Ruchottes" Grand Cru 2005 from Domaine Armand Rousseau is an exceptional wine made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in one of Burgundy's most prestigious vineyards. Located in a small walled parcel exclusively owned by the Rousseau family, the unique terroir and poor soils contribute to creating a wine of great elegance and depth.
The intense ruby color of this vintage immediately captures attention, indicating well-balanced maturation. Subtle garnet nuances add visual sophistication, while the crystalline clarity suggests a meticulous winemaking process.
The complex bouquet of this Burgundy wine exudes aromas of black cherries and blackberries, complemented by more discreet but well-present floral notes. Background hints of licorice and undergrowth bring a pleasant depth.
Silky tannins offer a pleasing texture, with preserved acidity ensuring persistent freshness. Concentrated flavors of black fruits are accompanied by delicate notes of cocoa and spices. The poor soils of this small walled vineyard produce a very polished wine, rich in sweet cherry flavor with a lovely spicy character and great length. Finesse is the watchword. The Ruchottes always abounds with small red berry fruit, making it a lively and vibrant grand cru that will continue to evolve for many years in the bottle.
