This comes from Les Ruchottes du Bas, a corner of vineyard next to Mazis-Chambertin. Lying high on the hillside, Ruchottes-Chambertin gives less massive wine than some of the other Gevrey-Chambertin Grands Crus, but finesse and aromatics can be outstanding. This comes partly from vines which are nearly 60 years old, partly from a plot which was re-planted in 2000,“which brings new life and vivacious energy to the blend,” says Marie-Andrée. Colour is deep, rich purple, the nose being ripe and fine, yet discreet. Palate is a wonderful balance between sleek, mouth-filling fruitiness, vivaciousness with gentle tannins, and an impressively long finish (for drinking 2026-2040+).
