“Ruchotte” Dinner (Both Colors) |  (172 page views) | | 10/5/2018 (BlackSalt - Washington, DC) |
| | - 2009 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
In 09/11/12 vertical. Ripe orchard fruit with slightly sweet spice. Very dense concentration, very good length. The rare 2009 white Burgundy getting better with age. (93 pts.)
- 2012 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
In 09/11/12 vertical. Apple and pear with background stone fruit. As ripe as the 2009 with even more concentration. Lots of backbone and energy through very long finish. Still a juvenile. (93 pts.)
- 2011 Domaine Bernard Moreau et Fils Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru
In 09/11/12 vertical. Wonderfully fragrant, great spice and floral start. Apple and pear with good weight, elegant textures and lots of charm. More delicate vs 09 or 12, but equally interesting. (92 pts.)
- 1999 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
In great Ruchottes-Chambertin flight. So much red fruit with black cherry hints, with enticing spice box. Started out a little flat, but freshened and brightened up quickly in glass. Perfect balance and very good length by the time we were done. (93 pts.)
- 1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
In great Ruchottes-Chambertin flight. Black fruit with lots of slowly braised Boeuf Bourguignon and corresponding spice. Very good density and balance, good+ length. My favorite if the flight for today, most others also put this atop the flight. (94 pts.)
- 2002 Michel Bonnefond Ruchottes-Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru
In great Ruchottes-Chambertin flight. Youngest of the flight, and easily the most backward. Black and red cherry with a compact middle and elegant textural finish with firm fruit and savory spice. Would have benefited from more air and/ or cellar time, as with all 2002 Roumier. (93 pts.)
- 1990 Domaine Duroché Latricières-Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Latricières-Chambertin Grand Cru
Mature and ripe black fruit that didn’t quite show Grand Cru density or complexity. Good when first outed, this got more tired with more time in the glass.
- 2002 Domaine Fourrier Griotte-Chambertin Vieille Vigne - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru
Textbook Griotte - black and red fruit with both weight and elegance. Complex combination of fruit, spice and faint earth notes, while still nicely bright and fresh. (93 pts.)
