Even, bright, rich purple. This wine has much more weight of fruit than the Romanée St-Vivant, lovely svelte rich fruit with a bit of dark lifted whole bunch fruit. Sumptuous on the palate yet still light on its feet, with a gorgeous gracious finish. Tasted from a second barrel the Richebourg came over as a touch more robust, less evidently gracious, yet still with the same absolutely compelling persistence.

The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru is a fitting end to a vertical that several attendees voted wine of the night. It has a riveting bouquet, very harmonious with Earl-Grey-tinged red fruit, forest floor and hints of crushed stone. Wonderful delineation. The palate has exquisite balance and poise, a little powdery in texture with gentle grip. Layered dark berry fruit with hints of bay leaf and cola build towards the finish. Yes, it does need time, but I would not begrudge anyone giving into temptation in the near future. (NM)

With its extravagantly aromatic perfume, the Richebourg is reminiscent of an exotic Asian tea with notes of bergamot, anise and lavender-scented pomegranates. Initially, the texture is firm and somewhat restrained, but the palate shows more richness and density. As Aubert noted, it is a wine that 'likes to be seen and is not shy at all'. This classic Richebourg is produced from several parcels that total over 3.5ha, including the portion that borders Romanée-Conti and La Romanée to the north. Superb! (CC)

A discreet application of wood frames the even more complex and spicier nose of relatively high-toned, cool and airy aromas of red berries, violet, rose petal, orange pekoe tea and a hint of leather. The sleek, intense and sophisticated middle weight plus flavors brim with both minerality and dry extract that buffers the slightly firmer tannic spine shaping the hugely long, powerful and beautifully harmonious finale. It would be fair to observe that this isn't the most concentrated Richebourg the Domaine has ever produced but it is one that should age effortlessly on its balance. In sum, this is a highly refined and elegant Riche with a positively gorgeous mouthfeel.

Notes

95 points, Antonio Galloni for Vinous: "The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru is a Burgundy of Cistercian austerity. Searing tannins give the Richebourg its trademark sense of energy and vibrancy. White pepper, mint, dried flowers and bright red berry fruit are all beautifully delineated, with underlying beams of minerality and salinity that lend dimension. Richebourg is very rarely finessed, but is more typically a wine of brawn and pure power, as it is here. A range of bright, floral/savory accents suggest a bit more elegance may lie ahead. We will see. My colleagues appreciate the Richebourg more than I do. Harvest began the afternoon of September 8, after Romanée-Conti. Rain on the 9th caused a break in picking for the day. The last of the Richebourg came in on the 10th." (7/2020)
