NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Domaine Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes is an exquisite expression of the Pinot Noir grape.Deep garnet in color, the nose offers up aromas of wild strawberries, dark cherries, plums and black truffles, with a hint of forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated, with an intense core of ripe red and dark fruit flavors, complemented by firm, ripe tannins and a lively acidity. The finish is long and complex, with notes of cedar, tobacco and spices. This is a stunning wine, with remarkable balance and depth.
