Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Very good. This had a typically Roumier nose, really expressive and in-your-face, with a blast of ripe cherries, earth and meat, and a bit of brambly herb at the back. The palate was quite open for a 2010 - the great big fruit and the acidity of the vintage were there, but not in a disjointed way. It had some of Roumier’s fleshy, ripe expression in the red fruited attack, and then lovely mouthful of spice with a bit of bramble and minerality moving into a long, long finish. Way too young of course, but this was readily impressive, with a subtle power and depth wed to a real focus and definition. 93+

Klar. Ren. Veldig ungt og forholdsvis tight. En flott konsentrasjon, kompleks rødbær kjernefrukt, en kjerne som ligger bak alt. Frukten er litt sødmefull, litt overraskende for årgangen (13,5%), men veldig presis og klar. Fatet er litt fremtredende. Etter tid mer kompleks frukt og et veldig tydelig Gevrey-preg kommer frem som sous-bois og løv. I munnen er den sømløs, nesten perfekt munnfølelse. Touch trå/bitter i avslutningen, trenger litt mer tid på flaske. Lang ettersmak.
I alt en meget bra vin, chambollesk følelse med gevereykarakter. Har en klar gc vekt/kons og intensitet

It possessed a beautiful regal nose. Palate was multi-layered and transparent with weightless power. It also had very good length.

Very complex, accessible, and drinking well for a youngster. The 2010's Ruchottes all presented very well.
