Clos des Ruchottes 2012

The 2012 Armand Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes comes from one of Burgundy's most prestigious vineyards and embodies the pure essence of Grand Cru Pinot Noir. The Armand Rousseau estate has been synonymous with elegance and precision for generations, and this wine from the monopole vineyard Clos des Ruchottes is a perfect testament to this philosophy. The grapes grow on barren, stony soils, which impart the wine with its characteristic minerality and depth. In our Burgundy Wines category , you'll find more treasures from this legendary region.

The vinification follows traditional methods: spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts, gentle extraction, and aging in French oak barrels. The 2012 Vintage is considered classic and structured, with a perfect balance between fruit and acidity. Armand Rousseau consciously avoids excessive intervention to preserve the purity of the vineyard. The result is a wine of great finesse and longevity.

On the nose, notes of red cherries, raspberries, and subtle spices unfold, accompanied by delicate floral hints and a fine smoky nuance. On the palate, the 2012 Armand Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes is elegant yet powerful, with silky tannins and a precise structure. The minerality carries the wine through to the long, vibrant finish, characterized by fine fruit and a saline freshness.
