2009 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg

2009 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg

Beautiful color. On the nose, it is powerful, but fresh with minerality and blackcurrant-bud notes. This is a classic Richebourg: budding with freshness and energy, but the wine is still wrapped in fine tannins that need time to develop.

Critical Acclaim

97 Wine Advocate

The 2009 Richebourg is a dramatic wine. In 2009 there is so much fruit that the tannins are barely perceptible. With time in the glass dark notes of tar, smoke, licorice and violets develop, adding tons of complexity to the fruit. This is a huge, vertical wine that captures the essence of Richebourg in its towering fruit and structure. Layers of fruit saturate every corner of the palate as the wine builds to a deeply satisfying crescendo of head-spinning aromas and flavors. Anticipated maturity: 2024-2059.

95 Vinous

I am surprised by how good the 2009 Richebourg is at this stage. Swaths of tannin frame an explosive core of fruit in a Burgundy endowed with a real sense of gravitas. The radiance and ripeness of the year has filled out the wine nicely, yet the 2009 remains a quintessentially powerful, substantial wine that will last decades. Although the 2009 is many years away from peaking, it is a real joy to catch it at this early stage.

95 Wine Spectator

A fleshy, charming red, sporting expressive aromas of cherry and sandalwood, with a touch of mint. On the palate, a mouthful of cherry, berry, smoke, leaf and spice notes are allied to a dense texture and serious tannins that are less refined at this stage. Best from 2016 through 2037.
