The Investment Case
This wine combines Grand Cru status with the additional distinction of coming from Rousseau's monopole section of Ruchottes-Chambertin. Production is extremely small, so relatively few bottles ever enter circulation. The combination of exclusivity, vineyard ownership and the Rousseau name makes replacement increasingly difficult as older vintages are consumed.
