Richebourg Grand Cru — The Majesty of Vosne-Romanée

Richebourg Grand Cru is one of the most prestigious appellations of the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy. Produced exclusively from Pinot Noir, this Grand Cru embodies power, complexity, and elegance at the highest level. Located at the heart of Vosne-Romanée and covering barely 8 hectares, it is renowned for its rare aromatic intensity and exceptional longevity — a legendary wine sought after by both connoisseurs and collectors.

An Exceptional Terroir

The Richebourg vineyard lies on clay-limestone soils mixed with marl and gravel, perfectly drained and facing east. This unique terroir allows for slow and complete ripening of Pinot Noir, resulting in wines with remarkable aromatic depth. They display intense aromas of black cherry, blackcurrant, violet, and spices (clove, sandalwood, forest floor). With time, the bouquet develops greater complexity, revealing truffle, licorice, and fine leather, while retaining its noble freshness.

Style & Structure

Richebourg is a wine of breadth and depth. On the palate, it stands out for its firm yet perfectly integrated tannins, supported by balanced acidity that ensures both harmony and longevity. Its velvety texture, impressive persistence, and evolving aromatic depth make it a long-ageing wine, capable of developing for over fifty years in great vintages. It offers a controlled opulence, perfectly poised between earthy strength and aromatic elegance — a true signature of Vosne-Romanée’s terroir.
