Tasting notes
The 1998 Richebourg Grand Cru comes as a disappointment after the '96. Quite mature in colour, the 1998 has a rustic and leathery nose, with just a faint touch of blackcurrant leaf. The palate lacks the grip of other vintages, a bit dry in style and missing energy. This was a very challenging vintage in the Côte de Nuits and I think this Richebourg suffers, especially in direct comparison with several other vintages. Tasted at the Richebourg vertical dinner in Taipei.

About the producer
Domaine de la Romanée-Conti or simply “DRC” is without doubt the most famous domaine in Burgundy and one of the most famous producers on earth. The Grand Cru vineyard from which it takes its name produces the world’s most expensive wine by a long margin.
