The Story

Richebourg is a king of a wine: the colonnade of the Louvre, the Château of Versailles. You are impressed by its finesse, its length and its delicate sensations, endlessly changing. The fact that no element dominates the others enables you to appreciate all of its aromas, on the nose and on the palate. In any given vintage, Richebourg is always one of the last wines to be drunk. Not because it is too aggressive when young; simply because it ne...

2007 harvest

The 2007 harvest is finished. The weather is fine with a wind blowing from the North, which both delights the vigneron and makes him regret that these ideal conditions did not arrive a little earlier! But we have to adapt to the will of the climate and we perfectly know that it is in this difficult context of Burgundy with its tortuous weather, softened by exceptionally micro-climatic conditions, especially at the end of the se...

Written Notes

A flight of DRC Richebourg was next, and it set a great bar for the reds. First up was the 2007 DRC Richebourg, a vintage that in general is great to drink young for the Red Burgs. It was sweet and classic ’07, ‘fresh and crisp, begging you to drink it,’ Dr. Love aptly apprised. It was delicious and long with nice, light structure on its finish with a bit of zip and more length than I expected. It was definitely flirting with outstanding, but after going through the rest of the flight, it lost a step. ‘The ladybugs came in,’ Who Shot JR noted. He was right, and I was up and down my own point scale, settling on a benevolent (94).

The 2007 Richebourg Grand Cru from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a wine that is "open for business" like many 2007s that decided that there is little point in waiting to please wine lovers. The color gives a lot away. Compared to a dozen other Richebourg, this was the palest in color by far - though looks can be deceptive, especially here. The aromatics still show the stem addition quite conspicuously, although I noticed that these aromas, which are almost ash-like, subside with continued aeration over 40-45 minutes. The palate is medium-bodied with tart red cherry and raspberry fruit, a fine line of acidity and wonderful transparency. I would not hold it up as an exemplar of Richebourg, rather a Grand Cru that is just delicious to drink at the moment. Something I did notice was how it coalesced and gained weight with aeration, so despite its paleness, do not fear decanting this Richebourg for 30 minutes.

Bttl 03905 Bright pale ruby. Transparent if somewhat richer nose. Minerals beneath, a whiff of wild flowers behind strawberries. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, intense and playful texture and structure. Lively and up front after RC, even if a tender wine. Nuanced and long.
