Note di degustazione
Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting in Beaune, the 2013 Richebourg Grand Cru has a slightly smudged bouquet at the moment, though there is impressive purity here and it gains delineation in the glass: red cherries, wild strawberry and a touch of orange rind. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. There is a fine line of acidity that lends this the tension it needs to offset the concentration. Tightly coiled and backward on the structured finish, give this 5-7 years to mellow into what will surely be an outstanding Richebourg. Tasted September 2016.

Bright dark red. Precise, high-pitched aromas of red cherry, raspberry, licorice and mint. Utterly spherical, fine-grained wine with outstanding intensity; conveys a powerful impression of force but without any hardness or brutality. The pungent red berry flavors are complicated by suggestions of leather and game and given further punch by strong underlying minerality. Finishes with big, broad, building tannins that will require patience. Boasts outstanding inner-mouth tension and energy, but the sensuality of Vosne-Romanée is also on display here. A great showing.
Good bright, dark, cherry-red. Deep, brooding nose combines dark berries, roasted herbs, smoked meat and dried flowers. Enters the mouth thick but this wine's outstanding sappy verve makes it almost painful in the mid-palate. A real high-wire act of sensuality and pure energy, with sweet flavors of black raspberry, smoke, Oriental spices and dried meat buffered by saline minerality. The powerful, reverberating back end leaves the palate vibrating. This will be bottled at around 13% alcohol following chaptalization, said Grivot, adding that his 2013s have "the acidity of a great year."
