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...

Written Notes

The first flight of red wines set a high bar for the evening. It was a legendary flight of wines that would be near impossible to recreate. The first wine screamed ‘incredible’ at first whiff. It was full of menthol, rose, blood, iron and ‘peaty’ per Wendy. There was big volume in the nose, and everyone was rocking out to it accordingly. There was lots of earth, ‘chickory’ as Jim put it, as well as divine garden aromas. The palate was equally extraordinary, long like winter nights in Alaska. There was huge acidity to this incredibly rare 1945 DRC Richebourg Vieux Cepages, the last vintage of this mythical wine, made from one row of vines from a portion of the vineyard. I have had this wine only twice (this being my first ’45), and both bottles have been some of the best bottles of my life, and both bottles came from Big Boy. Merci beaucoup (97+).
