Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru 2015

A vintage made for Richebourg', according to Aubert. Sumptuous and soaring, it is certainly already firing on all cylinders, beginning with the magnificent nose of violets and voluptuous red fruits. The palate is resplendently dramatic, with a fanfare of sweet raspberry coulis, dark cherry, bilberry and graphite. Plush, rippling tannins and gorgeous freshness provide the structure that frames this imperious monopole. It displays impeccable balance, class, concentration and sublime finesse. The finish is dazzlingly long. Harvested 8th & 9th September at 24.34hl/ha. Bottled 24th February, and 14th & 15th March 2017. 849 cases produced. Drinking Window 2023 - 2040. (JS)
