Domaine Armand Rousseau Clos des Ruchottes Monopole, Ruchottes-Chambertin

Ruchottes-Chambertin Rousseau is the sole owner of this 1.06-hectare monopole, making it one of the most coveted and scarce wines in the entire domaine. Ruchottes sits above Mazis on rocky, iron-rich soils that produce a wine of extraordinary precision and longevity. The monopole status adds both rarity and a particular singularity of expression. Among collectors who track Rousseau allocations obsessively — which is most of them — this is one of the most prized bottles of all.
