2013 Bernard Moreau Chassagne Gr Ruchottes
Secondary Description
From 75 year old vines, the Bernard Moreau 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes is a big wine with a lot of power and intensity and a broad set of mandarine flavours. But although big it is still elegant. The yield here is less than 30 hectolitres/hectare. It`s a tank sample ready for bottling and resting for a few weeks. Although a big wine, it is still elegant, like a Gerard Hoffnung cartoon lady.

The 2013 Chassagne-Monrachet 1er Cru Les Grands Ruchottes comes from the domaine’s oldest vines planted all the way back in 1939. It has one of Moreau’s more expressive noses with hints of almond, melted butter, walnut and Mirabelle, gaining more and more intensity in the glass. The palate is very well balanced with a keen line of acidity. There is plenty of citrus fruit here, accompanied by orange peel and a dab of marmalade that segues toward a harmonious, quite tensile finish. This is divine. 91-93 points
