"In notable contrast to the Grands Echézeaux, the 2004 RSV is notably powerful in this vintage. The bouquet is deep and still quite primary, offering up notes of red and black cherries, violets, a bit of dark chocolate, fine soil tones and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and lush, with excellent structure and focus, ripe tannins, and outstanding length and grip on the finish . . . . I cannot recall another vintage where the RSV that has shown more nascent depth and power than the Richebourg."

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.
