Ruchottes-Chambertin Michel Bonnefond 1996 is a rare Grand Cru Burgundy from a banner vintage. The wine reveals notes of red and black fruits, floral elements and hints of earthy undertones, underpinned by a taut minerality. The firm tannins and vibrant acidity suggest a long maturation ahead. The grapes for this sought-after cuvée are farmed and vinified by Domaine Georges Roumier as part of a share-cropping arrangement.
