Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Jun 18
The 2011 Ruchottes-Chambertin is a great wine for the vintage though, possibly predestined to be compared with the otherworldly 2012. It delivers those crystalline crushed strawberry and blueberry notes on the nose, not a million miles away from Bonnes-Mares in style. The palate does not possess the depth or grip of the 2012 or 2014 yet it has a satin-like texture, pitch-perfect acidity and fine tannins that frame an expressive finish. Excellent. Tasted blind in Burgundy.
