2007 Richebourg

A highly floral, restrained, cool, pure, elegant and soaring nose offers up a gorgeous mix of dark berry fruit and violet notes that complement to perfection the rich and supple broad-shouldered mineral-driven flavors that ooze with dry extract and culminate in a balanced, textured, detailed and explosive finish that really makes a statement. This is a balanced and serious Richebourg that also possesses that 'wow' factor yet does not lack for a sense of finesse. As it usually is, this is the class of the range in 2007.
