Review Date: 01/2025The 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru has a wonderful bouquet, a step above the Cros Parantoux with irresistible, vivacious brambly red fruit, briar, crushed stone and light iris flower scents. The aromatics seem multilayered here. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, a caressing sense of rondeur and what feels like a little lower acidity than the previous vintage. Cashmere textures pervade from start to finish without the "explosion" you might find on the 2022, yet it is seamlessly integrated with a very persistent finish. Superb.(NM)

The best looking grapes, reports Jean-Nicolas, with virtually no sorting needed. An even and noble purple. A ripe floral nose, without exaggeration. The sense of balance is impeccable. Greater depth of fruit than Cros Parantoux but just possibly less elegance. A chocolate note to finish. If this refines during the rest of the ageing it will outstrip Cros Parantoux but not a guarantee. Drink from 2035-2045. Tasted Nov 2024.

Méo's 2023 Richebourg is a wine on another level. Although closed initially, it opens on the palate to reveal a lovely, subtle, plummy fruit with accents of all smoke, mineral, and, of all things, nutmeg that brings a pleasant spicy note. The texture is elegant and silky, yet fresh and dense. The complexity comes directly from the two parcels: 0.04 hectares in Les Richebourgs and 0.30 hectares with three planting dates (the oldest in the 1950s). It will be best to give this wine a decade in the cellar before opening.(CC)

Scented with rose hips, peonies, new leather, peppercorns and purple fruits, this bouquet is pristine pure and multi-dimensional. Suave, seamless tannins hug the fullish body stuffed with mineral essences. The finish slowly melts into the palate as the vivacious freshness cleans up behind it. These vines spread across 0.4 ha in the northwestern corner of the cru, much further upslope than all other producers, save Bichot's Clos Frantin.
