The 2007 Clos des Ruchottes was raised in thirty percent new oak this year, which seems like just the perfect amount to frame the wine in this vintage. The style of the Rousseau Ruchottes, with its emphasis on elegance and refined complexity perfectly dovetails with the style of this vintage, and consequently the 2007 Clos des Ruchottes is a simply stellar example of the vintage. The bouquet is deep, pure and excellent, as it offers up a classy mélange of red and black cherries, red plums, cocoa, grilled meat, mustard seed, just a whisper of new wood and an utterly profound base of soil tones. On the palate the wine is medium-full, long and quite intensely flavored, with a sappy core of fruit, great depth and shape, bouncy acidity and great focus on the very long, modestly tannic finish. Superb wine. (Drink between 2014-2040)

Elegant and beautifully poised between pure raspberry, cherry, wild berry, floral and mineral aromas and flavors and a vibrant structure. This graceful, linear red is very harmonious—deceptively so, in that you might want to drink it now. Needs a few years to gain complexity. (BS)

Rousseau noted that in 2007, the Ruchottes received 25% new wood whereas in the past, the percentage was zero. An elegant, cool, restrained and lilting nose of rose petal, cranberry and raspberry aromas merges into medium weight flavors brimming with minerality and culminating in a relatively powerful finish underpinned by ripe tannins and excellent length. This really stains the palate and I very much like the underlying sense of tension. Drink: 2015+
