"The 2020 Clos des Ruchères derives from vines planted on a tiny (0.40 hectare) and steep plot (30% to 40% slope). Revealing a deep and complex bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, spring flowers, herbs and mint, it’s medium to full-bodied, bright, precise and seamless with a fleshy core of fruit but somewhat bitter on the finish. This is a nice rendition of this stunning plot-- Yohan Castaing"
