Richebourg Jean Grivot 1999 is a Grand Cru from the esteemed Richebourg vineyard in Burgundy. Crafted by Etienne Grivot, who has played a pivotal role in evolving the family`s winemaking approach, this vintage reflects a period of transition toward greater clarity in expression. The 1999 harvest marked an exceptional year with abundant yields of high-quality grapes. This wine displays a complex profile, featuring dark berry notes, hints of truffle and earthy undertones.

The 1999 Richebourg Grand Cru from Grivot is a long-term wine. Even after 16 years the nose is deep, broody and has a sign outside saying "come back later." I would say around five years. But I think there is great potential here (incidentally, not a view shared by others present at this tasting). With aeration, it reluctantly reveals sage and light Japanese nori (seaweed) aromas that I believe will become more prominent with time. The palate is well balanced, quite dense and perhaps "stocky," but hey, this is Richebourg not RSV! Give this burly Richebourg several years and you will have a serious wine. - Neal Martin

Red-ruby. Fresh, sappy aromas of black raspberry, cassis, violet, dark chocolate and lead pencil. Offers palate-caressing density on entry, then turns quite firm in the middle, with an aspect of minty, medicinal austerity. A wine of brooding energy and verve. This really closed down in the glass, suggesting that it will need substantial bottle aging.Stephen Tanzer1st March 2002
