Domaine de la Romanée-Conti – or simply DRC – is the iconic Burgundy estate that produces some of the most exclusive and sought-after wines in the world. Only grand cru wines are produced by the domaine, including this Richebourg, made from a 3.51-hectare parcel. 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.

The 2008 Richebourg Grand Cru is a vintage that I have not tasted since 2011, just after bottling. I suspect it is a wine that will provide more drinking pleasure in its flush of youth. Just by observing the bricking on the rim, it seems more mature than its 11 years. The open-knit bouquet has developed a rustic, ferrous tincture, not herbaceous but certainly tertiary in style. It is undoubtedly attractive, but noble? The palate is beautifully balanced with gentle grip, the tannins a little coarse compared to other vintages with (again) that ferrous note toward the finish. It is a lovely Pinot Noir, but to be honest, a 2005 Grands Echézeaux a week earlier exposed the gap between extremely good and truly great. Tasted from ex-Domaine bottle at Corney & Barrow.Neal Martin1st March 2023
