Tasting notes
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting, Christophe Roumier's 2014 Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru had a touch of volatile acidity on the nose, more feisty and fruit-driven than its peers, the barrel more pronounced and clearly requiring more time to be fully assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, more austere in style but nicely proportioned. There is impressive tension and salinity toward the marine-influenced finish and it feels very persistent. Give it 3 or 4 years in bottle. Tasted September 2017.

Good dark red. Alluring scents of cherry, purple fruits and spices, plus a hint of game. At once velvety and light on its feet, with pungent saline minerality and inner-mouth floral lift to its intense purple fruit flavors. This penetrating, sharply delineated, weightless wine finishes with subtly complex minerality and terrific lift.
