2016 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru 750ml

This exquisite treasure, crafted by Burgundy's most coveted producer, invites you on a journey into the heart of a Grand Cru celebrated for its power, finesse, and unparalleled pedigree.

A Legacy Rooted in Terroir:

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, or DRC as it is revered, sits at the pinnacle of Burgundy's winemaking pantheon. From its base in Vosne-Romanée, DRC paints a portrait of the Côte d'Or's finest terroirs through eight Grand Cru vineyards. Among these, Richebourg stands as a crown jewel, boasting a rich history and a character distinctly its own.

An Excellent Vintage:

The 2016 vintage was a great year for Burgundy, and this wine is a perfect example of the quality that can be achieved in this region. The weather was warm and dry throughout the growing season, which allowed the grapes to ripen fully. The harvest was early, and the grapes were brought in in excellent condition.

A Tapestry of Power and Finesse:

The wine has a deep ruby color with a garnet hue. The nose is complex and inviting, with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, plum, spice, and earth. The palate is full-bodied and powerful, with ripe tannins and a long, lingering finish. This wine is still young, but it has the potential to age for many years to come.

Critical Acclaim and Enviable Pedigree:

97/100 from Robert Parker
19/20 from Jancis Robinson

Own a Piece of History:

This is not just a wine; it's an investment in a timeless legacy. The 2016 Richebourg is a rare treasure, a fleeting glimpse into the magic of DRC and the soul of this Grand Cru. Savor its youthful allure now or cellar it for future moments of pure delight.
