  • 1999 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Ruchottes-Chambertin 93 Points

    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.

  • 1999 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes 94 Points

    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.

  • 2002 Michel Bonnefond Ruchottes-Chambertin 93 Points

    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.
