Domaine Anne Gros Richebourg Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 2023

Richebourg Grand Cru 2023 is a profound and sensual expression of Vosne-Romanée’s most celebrated terroir. The wine displays an intricate bouquet of raspberry, black cherry, rose petal, and violet, layered with exotic spice, forest floor, and subtle mineral notes. On the palate it is both powerful and refined, offering deep, concentrated fruit framed by silky, finely woven tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is long, resonant, and effortlessly elegant, reflecting the harmony and precision of the 2023 vintage. Critics have lauded the 2023 as finely balanced and sensual, with a long, resonant finish and excellent aging potential, making it a quintessential Richebourg that will continue to develop beautifully in bottle over many years.

"The 2023 Richebourg Grand Cru has a surprisingly understated bouquet that is shaded by the preceding Clos de Vougeot. Blackberry, briar and light tobacco scents emerge, though it remains a little reticent in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite peppery in style, with hints of sour cherry and sea salt toward a finish that feels quite linear and strict at the moment. Very fine, but it will require time." Vinuos 94-96
