Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 18, 2018 - Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Dinner (Yan, National Gallery, Singapore): Fourth time round with the 2001 Rousseau Ruchottes in a decade, and this was the best showing yet. 2001 Rousseau. Just lovely, lovely stuff, if perhaps a little half-step behind the monumental 2001 Roumier Ruchottes on the same flight. The nose here was a beguiling mix of dark red cherries, earth and spice laced with a nice floral kiss. Pretty. I loved the palate too - clean, clear and wonderfully pure, as would befit a Rousseau Grand Cru, but also with a nice sweet red cherry lilt alongside earth and spice notes trailing into a long gentle finish with a flush of red cherry fruit. Lovely stuff. If not for the Roumier, I would have been blown away by this.
