A bit wild and feral, but all the elements of greatness.

Perhaps it's the insanely aromatic, delicious, soul-satisfying bacon and heirloom beans that my husband paired it with...or maybe it's just that good. Perfumed, fresh fruit, structured, complex, juicy, mineraly (not an official word) I'm happy.

2021 vintage. Medium-heavy body. The experience is sped up and comes rushing in terrifying quickly with this effort. NOT a chill red Burg. California stylistically. Riper. Fuller. Ruchots is located across the road from Grand Cru vineyards of Clos-De-Tart and Bonnes-Mares. This did not suck. 10.8.25.

2022 vintage. Identical twin of the 2021 version (9.3 and tasted same day 10.8.25). with slightly less development but otherwise, can't miss juice. Medium-heavy body. 10.8.25.

Oof, lovely balance of power and finesse. Wild-grown red and black cherries/berries with a tug-of-war between earth and fruit. Some clay. Tannins still need some integration and this vintage would be best with a few more years; 4-8 ideal. Lovely to drink; enjoyed with duck which was a treat to pair.
