Wine No. 6 of 9 in the lineup tasted blind. Mid Ruby in colour and at the end of this bracket this was my Favourite from Gevrey Chambertin. Not surprising it was a Rousseau wine. Mid Ruby in colour. A return to a more perfumed nose. Sweet red fruits on a balanced delicious palate. Great concentration. ( will buy if I can afford My Notes said). After revealing the wines it turns out that this Ruchottes was only 25% new oak, letting the beautiful ripe, well handled fruit speak.
