In contrast to another magnum tasted in the big Richebourg tasting of 2001, as here the nose is incredibly complex, indeed more complex than either the La Tâche or Romanée-Conti with incredible dried rose petal, spice and touches of sous bois followed by mouth coating flavors that deliver superb detail plus a finish that is class personified. This is drinking beautifully now from this format and should continue to do so. 96/now+

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
