The 2015 Richebourg Grand Cru has a drop-dead gorgeous bouquet: so pure, so refined, so delineated! The scents are not powerful or ostentatious, but they unfold with each swirl of the glass, revealing astonishing mineralité. The palate is extraordinarily well defined. There is a patina of new oak to be subsumed, but it is still extremely detailed. A surprising seam of white pepper and spice becomes more conspicuous toward the long finish. Unquestionably a wine that stops you in your tracks. Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting.
One of the paler colours with a soft, sweetly oaked nose. This has magical intensity of fruit backed by a very slightly toasted finish, but the oak is not interfering in any significant way. Yes it is, a bit sweetly buttery but that just can't deny the quality of the fruit. Very fine and long.
