Armand Rousseau Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2010

Domaine Armand Rousseau’s Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru Clos des Ruchottes 2010 is a superb expression of one of Burgundy’s most coveted sites, crafted entirely from Pinot Noir in a tiny, walled parcel owned by the estate. The 2010 vintage is celebrated for its precision and balance, making this wine a standout for collectors who value both finesse and pedigree.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour that hints at its concentration and depth. The nose is layered and refined, with red and black berries such as cherry, blackcurrant, and blackberry, lifted by truffle, forest floor, spice, and a subtle floral nuance. On the palate, the wine is both elegant and powerful, framed by silky tannins and vibrant acidity that carry the fruit beautifully. Its long, persistent finish is marked by mineral tension and impressive complexity, and while it is already expressive, it has outstanding aging potential and will evolve gracefully for decades, developing notes of leather, undergrowth, and tobacco.

Production
Clos des Ruchottes is a small, wall-enclosed parcel within Ruchottes-Chambertin, planted on stony, limestone-rich soils that give the wine its signature minerality and depth. The site’s exposed Grand Cru terroir, combined with the cool, steady conditions of 2010, allowed for a harvest of exceptional balance and purity. Vinification at Domaine Armand Rousseau is guided by a classic, minimal-intervention Burgundy philosophy designed to preserve the character of the vineyard and vintage.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with refined dishes such as roast duck, pigeon, venison, beef tenderloin, or mushroom-based dishes with truffle and earthy elements. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant gently if opening young to allow the aromatics to unfold, though older bottles should be handled more carefully and may only need brief aeration.

Producer
Domaine Armand Rousseau is one of Burgundy’s most revered producers, with a long-standing reputation for producing some of the region’s most sought-after Grand Cru wines. Based in Gevrey-Chambertin, the estate is known for its consistency, elegance, and deep respect for terroir, and it has become a benchmark for fine Pinot Noir among collectors and critics alike.
