Considered by many to be the pinnacle of fine wine, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s holdings in Grand Cru Richebourg consist of two parcels, Les Véroilles and Les Richebourgs. These contrasting plots contribute their unique character to produce a wine with trademark power and concentration, but incredible finesse and freshness. The 1999 vintage in Burgundy was exceptional, yielding wines of remarkable depth and complexity. The 99 Richebourg deep ruby hue, the nose reveals a complex bouquet of black cherries, spice, and earthy undertones. On the palate, it is robust and muscular, with medium to full body and stunning length

Oh yes. Oh yes, yes, yes. This 1999 Richebourg Grand Cru is a bit like a great athlete, one who really shows its class against stiff opposition, here in the form of 18 other Richebourg! It follows the same thread as the imperial 1999 La Tâche. It has been blessed with a sensational nose that boasts quite astonishing delineation and precision, fabulous mineralité. The aromatics are far more detailed and enthralling than the 2007 tasted alongside. The palate is beautifully structured, virtually symmetrical with filigree tannin, with a gentle crescendo in the mouth towards an effervescent finish with hints of orange peel. Simply effortless. - Neal Martin

The 1999 Richebourg Grand Cru is a wonderful wine, even if this is not the best bottle that I have encountered. That is principally because the nose does not quite convey the crystalline purity of the previous example poured in Hong Kong. Although, the vibrant dark berry fruit and crushed stone aromas remains in situ. The palate has exquisite balance and poise, a wine of immense grandeur yet with elegance and energy in spades towards the finish.
