RATINGS

96Burghound.com

...cool, spicy, stony and utterly classy nose...powerful, focused, intense and broad-shouldered flavors...impeccably well balanced finish. ...this knockout effort should age for years. Brilliant.

93The Wine Advocate

With time in the glass, endless nuances of sweet herbs, mint, anise and crushed flowers add complexity to the fruit. This shows terrific depth and incisiveness in a totally convincing style.

92-95Stephen Tanzer

...densely packed, classic young Richebourg is more penetrating and easier to taste, especially in the context of this cru. Finishes extremely long and subtle, with a whiplash of raspberry and stone.

PRODUCER

Alain Hudelot-Noellat

Domaine Alain Hudelot-Noellat is in Vougeot, Burgundy. The 30-acre estate was owned and operated by Alain Hudelot-Noellat for many decades. Today it is run by Alain's grandson Charles, who trained in oenology at Djjon University. Included are grand cru parcels in Clos de Vougeot, Romanee-St.-Vivant and Richebourg. Other plots are mostly premier cru. Robert M. Parker Jr. has noted that the estate produces “extremely seductive, creamy wines that have a vivid, well-focused, rich fruitiness, and good body.”

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.
