Richebourg DRC Magnum 2009

Situated within the commune of Vosne-Romanée, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the legendary Burgundy estate that produces some of the most exclusive and sought-after wines in the world. The estate has a fascinating heritage that goes all the way back to the 16th century, when it was farmed by the Benedictine monks of Saint-Vivant de Vergy. Only grand cru wines are produced here, including this Richebourg cuvée, made from a 3.51-hectare parcel. This release is from the 2009 vintage, presented in a magnum bottle. The wine displays a rich, concentrated nose of black fruits, espresso, smoke, rose petals and limestone mineral. The palate is multi-layered, with mineral acidity and a sweet, black fruit finish.
