Product Description
DR98 The colour is as deep as the Romanée-Saint-Vivant, but the Richebourg is an entirely different wine, less forward and more substantial. It seems somewhat reserved, but as it opens, there are impressive layers of flavour, from a ripe black cherry fruit to a sweet floral note and hints of graphite and menthol that are very attractive. Although the Romanée-Saint-Vivant is more forward, the Richebourg has more cellar potential - it's difficult not to bump this up a notch upon review. This wine should start to open properly after ten years in bottle. Picked 29 September – 1 October; 4,262 bottles produced.
