2001 Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin GC Clos des Ruchottes 1x75cl

Vinous 89

Moderately saturated medium red. Slightly roasted aromas of redcurrant, flowers and mocha. Fat and sweet in the mouth, with a musky earthy quality complicating the red fruit and game flavors. The deepest of these 2001s to this point, finishing sweeter and more persistent. [Stephen Tanzer, 03/01/2004]

Broad, relatively light, but very well balanced, racy and appetising. Taffeta texture with very fine-grained tannins. Quite convincing. Hints of coffee bean. (cask sample) [31/01/2003]
