Richebourg DRC Magnum 2008

Situated in the village of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is the world-famous wine producer that needs no introduction. Since 1942 the estate is co-owned by two families, the de Villaine and the Leroy, with Alexandre Bernier in place as cellar master following the retirement of Bernard Noblet in 2018. Only grand cru wines are produced here, including this Richebourg, made from a 3.51-hectare parcel. This release is from the 2008 vintage, available here in this glorious magnum bottle. Richebourg tends to have the same silky character of its neighbour Romanée-Conti and the boldness of La Tâche. It is a sumptuous cuvée, marked by power and vigour.
