Ruchottes Chambertin 1988 Christophe Roumier Ruchottes Chambertin 1988 Christophe Roumier Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru Excellent levels, labels slightly dusty, 1 slightly scuffed Lot 79 2 mags (cn) per lot: GBP 750-950 per lot: USD 1150-1450 per lot: EUR 950-1200 Christophe Roumier makes the wines following the death of his father Jean-Marie, the third son of Georges. He favours a natural, organic approach in the vineyard as he wishes to encourage a diversity of natural yeasts. Low yields are also a fixture here, but via strict pruning, rather than green harvest later in the season. Fermentation temperature is not allowed to exceed 30 degrees Celsius, there are one to two pigeages a day, and the wines are aged in a maximum of one-third new oak. The Ruchottes and Charmes now appear under Christophe Roumier's own label. Wines of purity and great class and depth of flavour, with a long future ahead of them, made by a guardian of the Burgundian Grail. SS. LYING IN GREENFORD, MIDDLESEX Offered Duty Paid only Quantity: 1
