Wine Advocate (96)The 2014 Ruchottes Chambertin Grand Cru takes time to unfurl in the glass, eventually opening out with dark berry fruit, a touch of briary and blueberry, and a suggestion of sea spray. It is paradoxically intense but subtle. The palate is medium-bodied and here, it just shows the wood a little more than say, the Clos de la Roche. There is good density here, but it is the acidity that drives this forward and imparts so much tension. This is a Ruchottes that rivets you to the spot. |

Jancis Robinson (19)Going into the darker fruit spectrum here but with a cool elegance in the aroma. Dark and ripe yet the ripeness is somehow savoury not sweet. Like roasted veg. Elegance and restrained, super-fine tannins. A dark, refined beauty with paper-like tannins in layers. |

Vinous - Neal Martin (96+)The 2019 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru offers an irresistible mélange of red and black fruit, hints of black tea leaves and bay, all delivered with stunning delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannins, precise red fruit tinged with pencil lead, surfeit with mineralité as you want from this vineyard and conveying such brightness and vivacity on the finish that you cannot help but be seduced. Just on the opening pages of its story. |

Vinous (84-86)The 2018 Bourgogne Chardonnay is actually declassified Montagny premier cru fruit. It has a light, slightly grassy bouquet that is nicely defined albeit quite simple in style. The palate is medium-bodied with sharp acidity on the entry, a touch of sour lemon and a short finish. |
