It is widely considered the single finest Premier Cru in Morey-Saint-Denis because it acts like a bridge between two worlds: it has the structure of Morey but the intoxicating perfume of its direct neighbor, Chambolle-Musigny.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eFrederic Magnien has completely reinvented his winemaking in recent years to capture this nuance. He has largely abandoned new oak in favor of terracotta amphorae and older wood (some sourced from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti) to preserve the \"energy\" of the fruit. This means no vanilla mask, just pure, unadulterated terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eThe 2017 vintage is the perfect vehicle for this transparent style. It is a \"crystalline\" year—wines that are open, aromatic, and graceful right out of the gate. While a 2017 \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"175\"\u003eClos de Tart\u003c\/i\u003e will need another decade to soften, this \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"229\"\u003eLes Ruchots\u003c\/i\u003e is already singing. It offers the closest experience you can get to drinking a rock-star Grand Cru without needing a loan to pay for it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frederic Magnien","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982167625985,"sku":"3050244","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/8085\/9649\/files\/3050244.png?v=1769048238","url":"https:\/\/winekey.com\/products\/2017-frederic-magnien-morey-st-denis-1er-cru-les-ruchots-c-te-de-nuits-burgundy-france-750ml","provider":"WineKey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
