Ruchottes Chambertin, Georges Mugneret/Mugneret-Gibourg

Note:

Discreet but not invisible wood envelopes ripe, cool and exceptionally pure aromas that convey notes of wet stone, truffle, essence of wild red berries and a panoply of earth hints. Interestingly, the nose doesn`t seem quite as ripe as that of the Gevrey 1er though there is clearly more underlying material to the extract-rich, powerful and intensely mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors that are underpinned by firm but well-integrated tannins and outstanding length on the notably more complex finish. Good stuff.
