Ruchottes-Chambertin 2005 from Domaine Georges Roumier is a Grand Cru red Burgundy from the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. Domaine Roumier is celebrated for its precise, minimal-intervention approach, using a low percentage of new oak to allow the terroir to shine. The exceptional 2005 Burgundy vintage yielded concentrated wines with excellent structure. This wine displays a taut, age-worthy profile, showing pure aromas of dark cherry, violet, wet stone and subtle cedar. The palate is firm and dense, exhibiting concentrated fruit with a taut, linear acidity and the powerful, refined tannin structure.

The 2005 Ruchottes-Chambertin is from rented vines. A nose of faintly-bitter black fruits, licorice, brown spices, and smoked meat ushers in a rich though firm, fine-grained palate exposition of blackberry, blueberry, licorice, savory meatiness, and wet stone, leading to a finish of formidable length, precocious polish and refinement, and pristine clarity of infectiously bright and invigorating fresh, tart berry fruit and saline minerality. One senses that Christophe Roumier considers 2005 a high point of his career, and my visit with him was among the high points of my recent trip. He describes this as “a classic vintage lending itself to very calm, classic vinification,” which given the opportunities afforded by perfectly healthy, firm, dry, ripe fruit involved triage almost solely to remove ladybugs, and included around 25% whole clusters in the fermenters at the Premier Cru level and 50% at that of Grand Cru. - David Schildknecht

Good deep, bright red. Urgent aromas of crushed dark fruits and white pepper; brilliantly delineated but extremely unevolved. Then wonderfully juicy and bright in the mouth, with complex mocha and game hints adding interest to the concentrated, sappy berry flavors. Dense, classically dry and thoroughly ripe grand cru that's still a bit closed in on itself. The very long, slow-mounting finish features substantial suave tannins and terrific underlying structure. This should evolve in bottle for at least a couple of decades.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2008
