Merchant's description

Frédéric Esmonin Ruchottes-Chambertin 1990 is a Grand Cru Pinot Noir from one of the smallest and most exclusive sites in Gevrey-Chambertin. This bottling comes from a time when the estate`s style was defined by traditional methods and a focus on site-clarity. More than 30 years of ageing have transformed this wine into a complex sensory experience, featuring notes of dried cherries, leather, truffle and game. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with the tannins having completely resolved into a seamless mouthfeel.
