Tasting notes
The 2010 Richebourg Grand Cru is showing very well, unwinding in the glass with notions of ripe cherries, cassis, dried flowers and spices, framed by a deft touch of new oak. On the palate, it's full-bodied, ample and layered, marrying the gourmand fruit of the 2009 vintage with the energy and satiny-textured tannin that characterize the 2008. Pure and penetrating, it's reminiscent of the domaine's more recent 2016 Richebourg.

(13.7% alcohol): Good bright, full red. Crushed berries, stony minerality and a menthol topnote on the nose. Creamy, sweet and full on entry, then extremely backward in the middle, showing less obvious fruit than the Clos Vougeot but great delicacy of texture for all its volume. The wine's superb, slowly mounting finish, featuring noble tannins, suggests a long and graceful evolution.
Good bright red. Highly perfumed if slightly reduced aromas of purple fruits, red cherry, violet, menthol and smoky minerality. Thick, rich, tactile and deep; utterly seamless. Less detailed in the mid-palate today than the more pungent Clos Vougeot but the finish boasts suave, noble tannins and outstanding palate-saturating length. The perfume this wine left in my empty glass was enthralling.
