About

Ratings:

92

"A subtle trace of pain grillé adds nuance to the perfumed ripe peach and apricot aromas that express a bit less citrus influence than usual. The fresh, naturally sweet and unusually refined middle weight flavors are really quite sophisticated compared to the flavor profile that one typically finds in a classic Ruchottes, all wrapped in a mouth coating, admirably intense and bone dry finish. This is a very serious, even brooding wine but if you have the patience and like the mix of a sweet mid-palate with old school acidity, it is recommended."

92 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Pale yellow. Pear and crushed stone on the nose. Quite ripe but serious and classically dry, with pear and stone flavors lifted by an almost peppery element. Really spreads out and lingers on the youthfully austere back end. This needs some time."
