The Richebourg is not that much better than the Vosne-Romanee-Cros Parantoux, Les Brulees, or the Nuits St.-Georges-Les Boudots. It does boast more fragrance, as well as more of a floral component in its sweet aromas of black fruits, toasty new oak, minerals, and roasted fruits. Impeccably made, with medium to full body, good tannins, crisp acidity, and a long, luscious finish, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.
These are the finest wines the Domaine Meo-Camuzet has yet produced. I am also delighted to say that in addition to practicing a severe crop thinning in 1990, the domaine bottled their wines naturally with no filtration.
