Wanted to try an '05 Grand Cru as in prior samplings they have been largely shut down so far. This Tortochot Chambertin was drinking nicely -- but young and primary. Consistent with another '05 Gevrey that I tasted same night. Medium bodied.. may develop some profundity but hard to say. Their Mazi is actually their flagship. Gabriel was the father, vigneronne has been the highly capable Chantel.

Sophisticated. Youthful, primary. Can be consumed now but certainly will continue to evolve. Nice detail is that Rousseau labels this as a "monopole" since while there are other owners of Ruchottes, in his opinion, this Clos climat is a mini vineyard that he owns. Too bad Rousseau prices are so crazy these days.

Chose this bottle to present as ideal example of Gevrey terroir to a Burgundy tasting group and it did not disappoint. Fairly primary and drinking young.
