“The 2016 Richebourg Grand Cru was not touched at all by the frost, so there are the full five barrels this year (sometimes it can be six). It has a majestic bouquet with ample blackberry, raspberry preserve and brown spice scents, later a touch of white flowers and truffle. This is so mercurial in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannin. This is beautifully focused, tensile and brimming with energy, yet it remains linear, almost aloof right to the finish, a covert sign that it should not be broached for at least a decade like most great Richebourgs. An aristocrat.”

“Almost as good as the 2015 - and that’s saying a lot - this hails from a 0.32-hectare plot, ranging in age between 60 and 80 years’ old. This is a stunning Grand Cru that’s already a pleasure to drink but needs at least a decade in bottle. Svelte, sensuous and very attractive, it’s a diva of a wine with intricate, finely balanced flavours and chalky precision.”
