Tasting Notes
From a mere 0.28 hectares, this is a seductive wine. The nose is intoxicating – the scent of generous fruit, florals, spice and rocky tones all combining to make something mesmerising. It’s concentrated and pure, with layer upon layer of red and black berries. It’s luxe, bright and pure with incredible finesse. The tannins provide a grip to the finish, complementing the mouth-watering acidity.

An even spicier nose reflects notes of exotic black tea, dark cherry, incense, hoisin, plum liqueur and a broad range of floral elements. The gorgeously textured medium weight flavors are once again not especially dense yet manage to display impressive power on the dusty, compact and hugely long finish, indeed this offers the best persistence in the entire range. In sum, this is stunningly good with the development potential to match. Drink 2037+
5 Star Wine - This vineyard tends to make fuller and richer wines than Romanée St-Vivant but it doesn’t show in the colour. The bouquet, though, is another matter: magically perfumed, an imperial majesty that fills every part of the mouth, luxurious but never vulgar, swamping the present and entirely necessary structure, just a point of youthful bitters alongside the acidity at the back. Very grand indeed! An extra dimension.
The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru is brilliant, mingling aromas of dark berries and plums with notions of blood orange, rose petals, exotic spices and smoke in an incipiently complex mélange. Full-bodied, deep and complete, it's seamless and multidimensional, its layered core of fruit almost entirely concealing its ample endowment of sweet, powdery tannin.
