94-96 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"The 2009 Ruchottes-Chambertin is impossibly elegant. The wine literally floats on the palate with dazzling brilliance in its fruit and gorgeous, well-delineated aromatics. All of the elements build towards the textured, mouth-coating finish. This is another stunning wine from Roumier. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039. My visit with Christophe Roumier was one of the highlights of the two weeks I spent in Burgundy earlier in the year. The range of 2009s is simply extraordinary, and the 2008s aren’t too far behind. Most of the 2009s were in tank, awaiting imminent bottling. Roumier began harvesting on September 12."
