Ruchottes Chambertin 2007 Christophe Roumier Ruchottes Chambertin 2007 Christophe Roumier Cote de Nuits, Grand Cru Capsules with French tax stamps Lot 1351 3 bts (sc) per lot: USD 750-1000 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. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
