2011 Alain Hudelot-Noellat, Richebourg Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)

BH 94 "Here the equally broad ranging nose is actually similar to that of the Roman?e St. Vivant but it's both cooler and even more restrained with a bit more floral influence as well. The intensely mineral-driven broad-shouldered flavors are an exercise in refinement with tremendous depth of material that pushes the very firm tannic spine to the background on the palate staining, explosive and stunningly precise finish. This is perhaps on the lighter side in the context of the appellation but the laser-like focus and persistence is easily of grand cru caliber." (January 2014)
