The 2012 Ruchottes-Chambertin Armand Rousseau is sourced from the Grand Cru estate`s monopole, Clos des Ruchottes, spanning 1.06 hectares. This wine reveals aromas of red and black cherries, wild strawberries and subtle floral notes, all heightened by a clear minerality that reflects the unique terroir. On the palate, the wine presents a medium-bodied structure with focused acidity and fine-grained tannins. Its finish is long and showcases the wine’s complexity, indicative of the rocky, limestone-rich soil of the vineyard.

Vinous
Bright medium red. Superripe aromas of black and purple fruits, violet and licorice, complicated by leather and game nuances. Highly concentrated, very ripe and palate-staining, with the black fruit and menthol flavors lifted by a note of violet. Finishes with a suggestion of chocolatey ripeness and outstanding breadth. Perhaps not as classy as its 2013 sibling but surprisingly easy to taste today.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2015
