Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru — Mineral Precision and Timeless Nobility

Among the nine Grand Crus of Gevrey-Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin stands as one of the most discreet, yet also one of the most profound and intellectual. With just 3.30 hectares perched on the upper slopes of the Côte, its thin limestone soils give rise to Pinot Noirs of remarkable purity, structure and tension. With an annual production of only 13,500 bottles, this is a connoisseur’s wine — rare, distinctive and built to age.

Terroir & Exposure

Nestled on the upper slopes of Gevrey, the vineyard rests on a shallow limestone base. This configuration ensures exceptional drainage and a vivid mineral profile. The east-facing exposure allows slow, even ripening while preserving freshness and tension. Its stony soils leave an unmistakable mineral imprint on the wines — elegant, linear and racy.

Style & Personality

The mineral character of Ruchottes-Chambertin is undeniable, shaped by its stony terroir, yet complemented by black fruits, mushrooms and truffle. The wine strikes a superb balance between freshness and depth. Its bouquet unfolds delicate notes of violet, cherry, graphite and forest floor. On the palate, it displays a fine, vertical structure with silky tannins and vibrant energy, giving it an exceptional ageing potential.
