Tasting notes
The 2014 Richebourg is paradoxically much more open than the RSV today. Nearly seamless and super-intense in all of its dimensions, the Richebourg hits all the right notes today. Its balance and overall sense of proportion are simply exceptional. This is an especially refined and elegant Richebourg with a bright, bright future. The 2014 Richebourg is the kind of wine that simply takes over all the senses and then never lets up.

The 2014 Richebourg Grand Cru is more backward than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant at the moment (the opposite to Hudelot-Noëllat the previous day when it was the other way round). Here, there is a very subtle marine/seaweed influence that tinctures that dark berry fruit. The palate is defined by its very fine tannin, the focus and tension interwoven through every atom of this Richebourg; the finish is surfeit with nervosité and tension so that is slips down the throat (guilty!) with so much ease. Wonderful -- one of the wines of the vintage.
About the producer
For many, Domaine Leroy represents the pinnacle of fine Burgundy. Owned and run by the legendary Lalou Bize-Leroy, the domaine in Vosne-Romanée is one strand of the Leroy empire, along with Maison Leroy and Domaine d’Auvenay.
