Richebourg, Grand Cru, 2017
Fleshier than the Vosne Premiers Crus but keeps its balance and composure. Well framed ,velvety deep fruit. Very pure and precise flavours. Gentle floral touches with notes of cherry blossom, damson and plum and a kick of mineral. Highly sophisticated, measured and with great purity of flavour and length.
critic reviews
The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru has a much more expressive and open bouquet compared directly with the Cros Parantoux: red berry fruit, undergrowth, crushed stone, tobacco and plenty of ground pebbles here. This is wonderfully detailed. The medium-bodied palate delivers fine-grained tannin. Not as deep as other vintages of Richebourg that I have encountered from the domaine, being lighter on its feet, yet it still displays good grip and a hint of graphite that lingers on the finish. Excellent.
