Ruchottes Chambertin Christophe Roumier 2017 (750ML)

93-95 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru already translates the limestone terroir of the soils on the nose, which is very refined and cerebral, showing touches of blackberry and wild hedgerow, even flint. The palate is medium-bodied with elegant tannin and perfectly pitched acidity; not powerful but very intense. There is an airy quality toward the finish. I suspect this Ruchottes might drink young but will age in graceful fashion." 01/19

92-95 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound: "While the nose is quite firmly reduced the wonderfully refined and attractively pure medium weight flavors possess exquisite persistence on the tightly wound, focused and impeccably well-balanced finale that seems to be built on a base of liquid rock. The fruit is so fresh that it's also quite crunchy and overall, this is a Ruchottes of class and grace yet with no lack of muscle and punch." 01/19
