DOM ARMAND ROUSSEAU RUCHOTTES CHAMBERTIN 2012

Wine Advocate: 94 points - The 2012 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes is showing beautifully, even if it s still a handful of years away from prime-time drinking, wafting from the glass with aromas of wild berries, plums, peonies, orange rind and a deft framing of oak vanillin from its used cooperage. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and elegant, with beautifully refined tannins and this cuvée s signature purity of fruit, it concludes with a long and penetrating finish. William Kelley
