"...Soared from the glass in a refined potpourri of red and dark plums, black cherries, venison, herb tones, lovely minerality, a judicious framing of vanillin oak and a lovely topnote of violets. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, complex and laser-like in its focus, with a sappy core of intense fruit, outstanding tangy acids, and great length and grip on the moderately tannic finish. This is a most poised and elegant example of Richebourg that sacrifices none of the power of this climat, simply harnesses the power into a refined thoroughbred."

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.
