DRC Richebourg 2021 is a medium- to full-bodied red wine from the Grand Cru climat of Richebourg in the Côte de Nuits. With a rich heritage that goes back to the 16th century, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti needs no introduction. The estate, which is co-owned by the Villaine and Leroy families, is the largest proprietor of Grand Cru vineyards in Vosne-Romanée. The domaine has always cultivated its vines according to the principles of organic farming and in 2017 obtained the Biodyvin biodynamic certification. On the 2021 Richebourg. "Deepish, pale-rimmed mid-red. Quite rich to smell, with a softly herbal impression. Moderately concentrated, a gentle, but noticeable slight extra firmness of structure here, a fresh to vivid acidity and a fine, firm tannin definition. Very nicely constituted, with a lovely fruit core, freshly sweet, almost juicy, its 2021 coolness particularly well cloaked, an impression not so much of size as a gently firm completeness, and with an attention-catching, spicy persistence. A stylish, crisply creased posture, a little stiffly at attention as yet, but at ease, in due course, this will be an exceptional Richebourg, its discreet power and complexity more handsomely presented, more tautly defined than hitherto. For me, a star, at this stage, in the vintage." Michael Schuster, 2024

The 2021 Richebourg Grand Cru is another of the more quiet wines in this range. It offers up hints of crushed flowers, sage, tobacco, dried herbs, mint and cedar. Readers will find an especially aromatic, mid-weight Richebourg. The long, understated finish makes me hopeful for the future, but this is a Richebourg of subtlety rather than power.
