DRC Richebourg Grand Cru 2016 Red

Curated Domaine de la Romanée-Conti with provenance from Burgdy.

The DRC Richebourg Grand Cru 2016 is a remarkable red Burgundy that embodies both power and elegance. This vintage opens with a lavish bouquet of cassis, dark plums, and exotic spices, complemented by floral notes of peonies and a hint of smoked duck. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with a deep core of precise fruit tones and velvety tannins. The wine's expansive profile is balanced by a vibrant acidity, leading to a long, harmonious finish. This Richebourg is a testament to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's exceptional craftsmanship, making it a prized addition for collectors and connoisseurs. A beautifully layered nose assembles very fresh notes of red currant, violet, lavender and earth undertones. There is both good punch and delineation to the succulent and utterly delicious medium-bodied flavors that possess a supple mid-palate that contrasts markedly with the dusty, focused and youthfully austere finish that is sufficiently firm to make clear that this is going to require at least moderate patience.
