Parker 94-96p / The 2010 Richebourg is a kaleidoscope of black fruit, graphite, mint, violets and spices. It is a towering, statuesque wine that completely saturates the palate in all directions, seemingly at the same time. The 2010 stands out for its beguiling, totally exquisite aromatics. The trademark Richebourg structure is present, but this seems to be a vintage where finesse takes precedence over sheer power. Anticipated maturity: 2030-2...

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...

Wine Information

2010 Harvest / The vigneron's work throughout the year is nothing other than a dialogue with his natural environment. The dialogue often becomes a combat in order to lead the vineyards and the crop towards the harvest and away from the precipices that lurk and have names such as: Mildew, Oidium, Botrytis... and many others.

Rarely has a vintage been so close to the precipice and then managed to save itself so successfully as the 2010. At th...

THE 2010 BURGUNDY VINTAGE 

Compared with 2009, these figures represent a deficit of 25 percent in red and 16 percent in white.

It was a cold, drawn-out winter, some two degrees cooler than the average, though rainfall and sunshine were normal. There was one severe attack of frost on December 22nd, just before Christmas, which caused widespread damage on the upside of the main road from Beaune to Dijon. In many places the road is on highe...

Written Notes

Garnet red colour with brick red hue. Intense and elegant toasting aroma slightly dominating the fruit. Needs a lot of time to open up but then presenting a good character. In the background slightly gamey character and mild spices. On the palate excellent structure with youthful character, convincing length and a touch of incense in the long lingering aftertaste.

The restrained and markedly cool nose displays an impressive variety of floral and spice hints that add a sense of elegance to the stunningly complex ripe dark berry fruit and plum aromas. While this is almost always a muscular and at times even robust wine young, in 2010 it offers a truly remarkably sophisticated mouth feel because like the RSV, the tannins are refined and fine-grained. Moreover, there is the same knockout complexity that the nose displays on the intensely mineral-driven finish and overall, this is a complete wine of simply fantastic length. It also offers a completely different, and much more masculine, experience than the RSV. I can't wait to try both in 15 to 20 years. Note that this is evolving glacially and I have extended my suggested drinking window by several years.

Fine colour. Ripe, rich, profound nose. Very high class. More sensual than the Romanée-Saint-Vivant.Full body. This is very lovely. Lots of energy and depth. Splendid concentrated fruit. Multi-dimensional. Really very fine indeed. 19.5p

Pronounced, lovely nose shows toasty, roasted coffee and wild ripe strawberry flavours with some smokiness. The palate is concentrated, focused, crisp and mineral. Very intense red fruit flavours with lovely spicy notes.Sheer purity and balance with lingering, long aftertaste. Near perfection?
  • 94p
Bright ruby red in color. Generous and distinct on the nose, with a bold composition of spices, raspberries, wild cherries and a darker streak of dried rose petals. Nicely structured with smooth tannins and bright acidity, encompassed by cherry candy, black tea, strawberry, and hints of lavender and spice.
