Product details
Domaine Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru 2017 is a rare and highly refined expression from one of Burgundy’s most esteemed estates, renowned for its dedication to precision and terroir transparency. Sourced exclusively from the monopole Clos des Ruchottes vineyard, this Grand Cru site sits above Mazy-Chambertin, where shallow, rocky soils and limestone foundations shape its distinctive identity. The vineyard’s proximity to the Combe de Lavaux creates a cooler microclimate, extending the growing season and preserving remarkable freshness and aromatic clarity. The 2017 vintage reflects the domaine’s meticulous vineyard management and gentle handling, resulting in an elegant and finely detailed profile that highlights purity, structure, and a true sense of place.
On the palate, this vintage reveals a graceful interplay of red berry fruit, subtle floral tones, and a pronounced mineral edge. The texture is silky and precise, with fine tannins providing a delicate yet persistent framework. Its hallmark freshness carries through each layer, lifting the profile and enhancing its clarity and balance. As it evolves, nuanced earthy and savory elements emerge, adding depth without compromising its finesse. The finish is long, refined, and harmonious, making this an exceptional Grand Cru expression defined by elegance, precision, and enduring complexity.
