The 2015 Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru, located in the lieu-dit of Ruchottes du Bas, was matured in around 75% new oak with a little more Fran?ois Freres, which Christine feels is suitable for this vineyard. It has a composed and beautifully defined bouquet with intense red and black fruit, hints of cold limestone and shucked oyster shell. There is just outstanding mineralite and terroir expression, despite the percentage of new oak that frankly is barely noticeable. The palate is medium-bodied with a velvety texture, a killer line of acidity; it is structured and mineral-driven, delivering a crescendo of flavors that fan out towards the persistent finish. It constitutes a blissful 2015 red Burgundy from one of its greatest terroirs.
This possesses a completely different aromatic expression with its very ripe yet restrained nose that features sauvage, earth and mocha-inflected red and dark currant aromas that are set off by moderately prominent wood toast notes. In the same vein, the middle weight and tautly muscular flavors exhibit a distinctly different texture while delivering the same excellent depth and persistence on the youthfully austere and equally structured finale. This is clearly built for extended aging and I would recommend not touching a bottle for at least a decade.
