Vineyards and grape varieties

The Richebourg Grand Cru is planted entirely with Pinot Noir and is among the most powerful terroirs in Vosne-Romanée. Harvesting took place on September 20th and 21st in 2014, with a yield of approximately 29.75 hl/ha. The vineyard is characterized by calcareous clay with excellent drainage, which contributes to structure, depth, and a pronounced minerality. Production amounted to approximately 1,160 cases, making this wine a very limited allocation.

Harvest, vinification and maturation

The 2014 growing season was relatively cool with a favorable late summer, allowing the grapes to ripen perfectly while retaining their freshness. After rigorous selection, traditional vinification followed, with full aging in French oak barrels. The focus was on precision and balance, with careful control of extraction to preserve both aromatic refinement and structure. The result is a Richebourg with pronounced energy and ageing potential.

Color, smell and taste

In the glass, the 2014 Richebourg displays a deep ruby red color with vibrant reflections. The bouquet is expressive and refined, with notes of ripe red cherries, crushed strawberries, and rose petals, supported by subtle spice and a hint of white pepper. As the wine opens, nuances of black truffle and an almost salty, maritime undertone emerge. The attack is energetic and precise, with finely tuned tannins and an impressive backbone. The finish is exceptionally long, layered, and mineral-driven, with tension and depth that will continue to develop for years to come.

Vintage and drinking window

The 2014 is considered a classic Burgundy vintage with an emphasis on elegance and structure. With a score of 96 points and a drinking window ranging from 2020 to 2055, this Richebourg displays both early charm and impressive aging potential. While it already displays great precision and refinement, further bottle aging will bring additional complexity and harmony.
