The dark colored 1997 Ruchottes-Chambertin is, as Roumier describes it, a "passionate" wine. Spicy red cherries, dense layers of currants, and hints of oak can be discerned in its profound aromatics. It is a sensual, satin-textured, feminine, deep, and marvelously structured, medium to full-bodied offering. Stony black fruits and red cherries can be found throughout its seductive personality and persistent, harmonious finish. Drink this beauty over the next 7 years.
