"The 1978 Ruchottes-Chambertin Clos des Ruchottes Grand Cru remains an exceptional wine, the best vintage of this era alongside the 1985. The ineffable bouquet is as mercurial as ever with crushed stone, rose petals and wild heather, quite similar to Dr. Georges Mugneret's style. The palate displays exquisite balance, as fresh as a daisy with that lithe, sensual and persistent finish. Every atom of this wine wants to give pleasure. Tasted at a private dinner in London."
