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.

The 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru has a typical nose for this vineyard, backward and a little stern at first. Its tightly wound redcurrant, cranberry and black plum fruit notes become more open with acquaintance. Apparently, it was very open the previous day, but this is in a mood! The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and a beguiling sense of symmetry from start to finish. This might be the most elegant Richebourg that I have encountered from Grivot at this stage. It's very poised with an extremely long aftertaste. This will require serious cellaring.
A fine ruby crimson. No doubting the energy here. Not explosive but fully in control of itself and growing towards majesty towards the back of the palate, with a marvellous volume of deep red fruit that absolutely justifies the reputation of the vineyard. Properly long, leaving a very satisfying taste. Drink from 2035-2045. Tasted Nov 2024.
