Richebourg, Grand Cru, 2023
One of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits, So many Richebourgs can be brutish when young but not this, one of the great wines of the Côte de Nuits, it haunts, seduces, and beguiles. Simply glorious flavours of garriguette strawberries, small red and dark berries, flower, flint and minerals. Such complexity and concentration without any heaviness. This floats seamlessly across the palate and lingers forever on the finish. Exceptional.
critic reviews
The 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru has a typical nose for this vineyard, backward and a little stern at first. Its tightly wound redcurrant, cranberry and black plum fruit notes become more open with acquaintance. Apparently, it was very open the previous day, but this is in a mood! The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and a beguiling sense of symmetry from start to finish. This might be the most elegant Richebourg that I have encountered from Grivot at this stage. It's very poised with an extremely long aftertaste. This will require serious cellaring.
