AOC Grand cru

Grape variety

Pinot noir

At the heart of the plots found in Vosne-Romanée, Richebourg is unquestionably one of the best known and most sought-after Grand Crus in the Côte de Nuits. The appellation covers just 20 acres, and yields an annual production of no more than 40,000 bottles.
The hilly landscape in the surroundings created by the Concœur combe and the proximity of the parent rock are features of the terroir that lend this wine its unique character.

Tasting

This wine expresses the exceptional character of a great terroir combined with a great grape variety. Its complex nose features notes of red and black fruit, spices and cocoa, which are underscored by a hint of smoke and will evolve over time toward scents of forest undergrowth and leather. On the palate, this dense, rich wine boasts well rounded tannins that make it absolutely sumptuous. Remarkable length on the finish.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with finely prepared roasted or stewed meats (beef, lamb, pork, game, duck), or with medium to mature cheeses.
Recipe suggestion: beef tournedos Rossini
