2023 Richebourg Grand Cru, Jean Grivot

Cellar Circle Exclusive

This is one of the most in-demand wines in Burgundy, and with good reason. It is truly grand cru in stature: profound, complex, with supreme length. There is a brooding character to the dark cherry fruit – supple and muscular the layers of complexity gradually unravel in the glass. The finish is so pure and finessed with a saline energy that pulses through for many seconds.

Tasting notes

The 2022 Richebourg Grand Cru comprises six barrels this year, three new and three second fill. It opens slowly in the glass, unveiling intense red berry, black truffle and light loamy scents. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and balsamic-tinged red fruit, gaining depth towards the finish that fans out as Richebourg should. Tasted from old barrels and as a new/old barrel cuvée assembled by Etienne Grivot.

(95—97)/100

A glowing crimson purple. A certain nobility to the nose. A brilliant combination of hedonism and precision, the expressive dense floral notes, waves of perfectly ripe red fruit, and that’s just the bouquet. Suave, sweetly fruited, nuanced, yet never losing site of the grace and the depth. Caresses all parts. Seamless finish with perfect acid and tannin balance. Drink from 2034-2045+. Tasted: November 2023.
