“Ruchots” takes it up a notch in structure and concentration, and in 2009 is a classic in its deep, dense and perfectly Pinot personality. A lovely blend of power and fruit, the nose and mouth are awash with ripe, rich black cherries and baking spices. Its core is of the creamiest mousse, yet “Ruchots” classic structure keeps it all together—what a treasure for the cellar.
