Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg 2016

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s Richebourg 2016 is one of Burgundy’s most sought-after expressions of Pinot Noir, combining Grand Cru pedigree with remarkable depth, power, and refinement. From one of Vosne-Romanée’s most prestigious sites, it shows the intensity and structure that have made Richebourg a benchmark for long-lived red Burgundy, while carrying the unmistakable purity and precision associated with DRC.

Makuprofiili
The 2016 vintage opens with a deep, luminous ruby color and an immediately captivating aromatic profile. Expect layers of cassis, dark plum, candied citrus peel, potpourri, peony, Asian spice, and a subtle smoky, savory note that adds complexity and intrigue. On the palate, this is a full-bodied and expansive Richebourg, with generous fruit, impressive depth at the core, and a velvety tannic frame. The wine combines richness with cool, precise fruit tones, creating a profile that feels both powerful and finely sculpted. It has the structure and concentration to age beautifully for decades, gaining nuance, silkiness, and tertiary complexity with time in bottle.

Viininvalmistus
Richebourg lies in the heart of Vosne-Romanée, where limestone-rich soils and an exceptional Grand Cru terroir give the wine its signature combination of power, perfume, and finesse. Domaine de la Romanée-Conti farms its vineyards organically, with select biodynamic principles, and relies on extremely low yields, strict vine selection, and hand harvesting to preserve quality at every stage. In the cellar, the fruit is sorted again, fermented with minimal intervention in traditional wooden vats, and then matured for around 16 to 18 months in new oak barrels, allowing the wine to express its terroir with clarity and precision.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a wine for refined dishes with depth and umami, such as roasted duck, game birds, lamb, wild mushroom dishes, truffled poultry, or slow-braised beef. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1 to 2 hours if drinking young, though very old bottles may be better opened gently and served with minimal decanting.
