Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2018 - Domaine Philippe Pacalet

Nose

Deep and powerful aromas of vibrant red fruits—ripe cherry, wild raspberry—meld with subtle undergrowth and forest floor, sandalwood, and a touch of earthy spice. A clear underlying saline minerality lends precision and elegance.

Palate

On the palate, this wine shows a full-bodied structure yet retains an agile refinement. Fine-grained tannins support the vibrant red fruit core, with cherry, redcurrant and a tinge of black fruit. The saline minerality persists, accentuating a long, tense finish. The texture is both rich and poised, hinting at excellent ageing potential.
