Note di degustazione
The 1980 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru continues to shine on the nose with satisfying vigour considering vintage and age, comely scents of red cherry, desiccated orange peel, subtle fungal and irony notes crescendo with aeration. The palate is fresh and harmonious, built around perfectly pitched acidity and a pliant, naturally, fully mature finish that still exudes mineralité . Add to the canon of exceptional 1980 red Burgundies. Tasted at the Rousseau Ruchottes vertical in September 2013.

The 1980 vintage was a little inconsistent but when you find a good 1980 Burgundy, it is usually a great 1980 Burgundy. Here, Charles Rousseau fashioned a marvelous Clos des Ruchottes that is nearly as fine as his 1978. It has an alluring, vigorous bouquet with red cherries, candied orange peel, wild mushroom and a slight ferrous note that becomes more accentuated with age. The palate is fresh, lively, harmonious and poised. The acidity is precise and embroidered exquisitely through this feminine, lithe, mature Pinot Noir that finishes with wonderful mineralite and length. This is simply a superb wine from an under-rated Burgundy vintage. Drink now-2025. Tasted September 2013.
