Reviews

Robert Parker - 95

The 2016 Richebourg Grand Cru is showing brilliantly from bottle, soaring from the glass with a complex aromatic mélange of raspberries, plums, Egyptian musk, espresso roast, Asian spices and rose petal. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, ample and satiny, with superb depth and concentration at the core, an auspicious sense of structural tension and reserve and a long, fragrant and expansive finish.

Vinous - 93+

Good full red. Brooding, very pure aromas of dark raspberry and crushed stone. Wonderfully stylish and supple on entry, then broader, plusher and more deeply pitched in the middle palate than the Clos Vougeot but very backward today, showing less primary fruit character and more salty minerality. Not displaying quite the early cut or definition of the Clos Vougeot but the tannins are plush and the finish boasts terrific subtle length. This wine appears to possess the spine for long aging and should eventually surpass the Clos Vougeot.

Domaine Anne Gros

Anne Gros is undoubtedly one of the most respected wine producers in Burgundy, with an outstanding reputation for crafting both red and white wines of unparalleled finesse. Located in Vosne-Romanée, the domain has been led by Anne Gros since the 1990s, who ranks among the most prominent winemakers in the region.

The vineyards of Anne Gros are situated in some of the most prestigious appellations of Burgundy, including Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny, and Clos Vougeot. The domain is renowned for its meticulous vineyard management, where every step of production, from grape harvesting to aging, is aimed at producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of Burgundy.

Terroir

Richebourg, one of the most revered Grand Cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanée, is a benchmark for power, elegance, and depth in Burgundy. Situated on the heart of the Côte de Nuits slope, Richebourg expresses the terroir’s ability to produce Pinot Noir of remarkable intensity and longevity.

The vineyard enjoys an ideal mid-slope position with excellent eastern exposure, allowing the vines to capture gentle morning sunlight while remaining sheltered from harsh weather. Its soils, rich in limestone with a significant clay component, provide both structure and balance, retaining enough moisture to sustain the vines while encouraging deep root systems. This combination supports slow, even ripening and exceptional concentration.
