Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 comes from Clos des Ruchottes, a prized single parcel entirely owned by the estate, giving it rare exclusivity within one of Burgundy’s most respected Grand Cru sites. The 2018 vintage brings generous ripeness and depth, while Rousseau’s hallmark restraint keeps the wine refined, precise, and effortlessly elegant. Historically, Clos des Ruchottes has long been regarded as one of the more understated jewels of Gevrey-Chambertin, and in the hands of Rousseau it becomes a benchmark expression of finesse and Grand Cru pedigree.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Pinot Noir typically shows a vibrant ruby-garnet color with impressive clarity. The nose is layered and expressive, offering wild berries, red cherry, rose petal, spice, and a distinct mineral lift that speaks to its Grand Cru origin. On the palate, the wine balances the generosity of the 2018 vintage with remarkable freshness and poise. Expect finely drawn tannins, bright acidity, and a complex core of red and dark fruit, wrapped in subtle earthy and floral nuances. The finish is long, structured, and elegant, with excellent aging potential; this is a wine that can be enjoyed with cellaring now, but it is built to evolve beautifully over many years.

Viininvalmistus
Clos des Ruchottes lies on a celebrated Grand Cru slope in Gevrey-Chambertin, where thin soils, excellent drainage, and an exposure that favors ripening help create wines of depth and precision. The parcel’s unique ownership by Domaine Armand Rousseau adds to its distinction, allowing for a highly focused interpretation of the site. While detailed vinification specifics are not provided here, Rousseau is known for handling its vineyards and cellar work with precision and minimal intervention to preserve purity of fruit and terroir expression.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Grand Cru pairs beautifully with dishes that can match its structure and aromatic complexity, such as roast duck, pigeon, veal, game birds, wild mushroom risotto, or truffled poultry. Serve at around 16–18°C for the best expression of its perfume and balance. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended if opening young, though older bottles should be decanted more gently, or just before service, to preserve their nuance.
