Red

Which direction will the bright ruby-colored 1991 Richebourg take? At present, its dense pit fruit aromatics give way to a tannin-dominated core of exotic woods, spices, herbs, and cassis.

Maison Leroy: a humble home

Ahead of the 2022 releases from Maison Leroy, our Fine Wine Buying + Partner Director Corentin Margier visited the producer’s headquarters – an unassuming address that belies the greatness of the wines that emerge from its cellars Auxey-Duresses is, at best, sleepy.

A refined, svelte, elegant neighbour to Richebourg

http://vosne-romanee.fr/[/caption] The grand cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanee are arguably the finest vineyards in the world. Chambertin and Musigny might make a fight of it, though the clump that is La Romanee, Romanee-Conti, La Tache, La Grande Rue, Richebourg and Romanee St Vivant is some very, very serious soil. Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux should, strictly, be included here but they ...
