Vinous Neal Martin - 01 May 19
The 2013 Richebourg Grand Cru is a wonderful wine. Here it has a superb, quite aristocratic bouquet with wild strawberry, crushed stone, clove and just a subtle marine tincture. It just seems to grow in stature. The palate is extremely well balanced with firm backbone, great density with a muscular, quite grippy finish. It just gives you everything you want from a Richebourg. Tasted at Goedhuis and Co.'s annual Burgundy tasting in London.

Rather dark and closed, and on the palate, this is big, powerful, but not especially beautiful. The layering and finesse you’d expect from a senior grand cru are not apparent at this stage. It’s good wine, for sure, but not magical, and hence not much of a step up from the village wines despite its greater mass. (AH)
