A very pretty and ultra-fresh nose offers up airy, cool and elegant liqueur-like aromas of essence of red cherry that are cut with a plenitude of floral, spice and earth nuances that are trimmed in just enough wood to notice. The mouthfeel of the medium-bodied, tautly muscular and mineral-driven flavors is relatively refined while delivering superb length on the almost painfully intense and beautifully delineated finish. This crunchy effort is also built-to-age but as is usually the case, it is a combination of finesse and punch where it will mature on balance. This is textbook.

It may have something to do with the cooler site, or the high percentage of limestone in the soils, but this is the freshest and best balanced of the domaine's grands crus in 2017. Tangy, bright and very refined, it has chiselled acidity, fine-grained oak, lacy tannins and remarkable focus and balance. It's long and very satisfying.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
At least based on these barrel samples, the 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes has the edge over the Clos Saint-Jacques this year, soaring from the glass with a fragrant bouquet of red cherries, raspberries, spices and orange rind. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, satiny and incisive with good concentration at the core, tangy acids and chalky structuring tannins.
