Clos des Ruchottes 2005

The Armand Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru 2005 is a rare wine from the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin, one of Burgundy 's most prestigious vineyards . Domaine Armand Rousseau is considered the epitome of Burgundian winemaking, and this Grand Cru embodies the estate's profound understanding of terroir and its masterful craftsmanship. The Pinot Noir grapes grow on calcareous soils, which lend the wine structure and finesse.

The vinification follows the finest Rousseau tradition: gentle hand-harvesting, slow fermentation in open wooden vats, followed by extended aging in French oak barrels. The result is a wine of impressive depth and balance, which has matured harmoniously for almost two decades. The 2005 Vintage is considered exceptional in Burgundy – concentrated, long-lasting, and of great elegance.

On the nose, a complex world of aromas unfolds: dark cherries, wild berries, delicate spice notes of cinnamon and clove, underpinned by earthy nuances and a hint of truffle. On the palate, the 2005 Armand Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes is densely woven and robust, with silky tannins and a lively acidity that guarantees freshness. The finish is long, mineral, and possesses a depth that lingers long after the last sip.
