". . . revealing aromatics that are beguilingly crystalline and precise; a very subtle ferrous scent emerges with time. The palate is silky-smooth, texturally the most seductive of all five reds, and the fruit a little darker, perhaps. Its sensuality is matched by its mineralité and the length is undeniably impressive. While Rousseau’s Chambertin started out as the front runner earlier in the dinner, I was smitten by this regal Richebourg. Jean-Nicolas Méo has overseen a brilliant wine."
