The wine region of Richebourg Grand Cru
Grand Cru of 8 ha in Vosne-Romanée (Côte de Nuits), 100% Pinot Noir: one of the most powerful and opulent Grands Crus — rich, deep reds with complex aromas of black cherry, blackberry, violet, rose, sweet spice and truffle, game and leather with age. Brown clay-limestone soils on Bathonian limestone, east mid-slope exposure. Ample, fleshy, structured palate with fine, silky tannins, very long finish, ageing 20-40 years, opulence and concentration.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Thinning
Also known as green harvesting, the practice of removing excess bunches of grapes from certain vines, usually in July, but sometimes later. This is often necessary, but not always a good thing, as the remaining bunches often gain weight.
