RATINGS

100Wine Spectator

A truly great wine. Amazing concentration, brimming with focused cherry, plum, smoke and cinnamon flavors, all tied together into a harmonious package that keeps echoing and changing with every sip.

96Robert M. Parker Jr.

The Richebourg is enormous in an old, heavyweight style. It is a tannic, relatively closed wine, with a broodingly deep color, and sensational depth and length.

94Burghound.com

...rich, full and naturally sweet medium plus weight flavors that completely coat the mouth on the wonderfully long finish... A great '85 and one of the best of the DRC line-up in this vintage.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
