• The wine

Great wine of Côte de Nuits, the Ruchottes-Chambertin is a neighbour of Mazis-Chambertin and Clos de Bèze. Its location on a limestone and stony ground, gave it its name and a special character, very popular. The dress is light, nuanced, the nose reveals aromas of fruit, red and black and then floral notes, bringing a sharp attack on the palate.
