Note di degustazione
The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru has a deep, broody nose of dark berry fruit, crushed stone, espresso and touches of allspice. Aeration really benefits these aromatics and allows them to open and gain more red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a lactic note on the entry, and quite oaky, though it is simpatico with the concentrated fruit. Displaying great depth and backbone, this is a powerful and aristocratic Grand Cru that will require several years in bottle. Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2017 tasting.

Bright garnet. Herbal nose. Sweet start but a bit confected. Not the purest, most relaxed wine. Just a little stewed on the (rather sudden) end. (JR)
The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru includes 30% whole clusters, matured in 75% new oak (eight barrels in total this year). It has a very subtle bouquet that gradually unfolds in the glass: dark cherries, blackberry, wild hedgerow and crushed stone. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity and fine symmetry, although at the moment I seeking more substance on the finish. This is a fine Grand Cru, but not the best the domaine has made in recent years.
