The 2022 Ruchottes yielded 36 hl/ha, with an alcohol of just 12.7%, apparently it is always lower here. A fresh mid purple. A super-fine complex briary nose, one could believe some stems here but it is the setting of Ruchottes, crushed alpine strawberries, but all destemmed. Superbly poised, with such a refined fruit quality and a pleasing light peppery touch at the finish. Drink from 2032-2040. Tasted: November 2023.
