The 2017 Ruchottes-Chambertin Grand Cru exhibits pretty aromas of berries and petals alongside its generous complement of oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, fleshy but a little firm and compressed by barrel tannin. In the 2018 vintage, Magnien dramatically reduced the amount of new oak for his Ruchottes, and the result was a radical improvement.
