RATINGS

93Burghound.com

...supple, round and tautly muscled broad-shouldered flavors...almost painfully intense finish...striking length...a karate champion of a wine that isn't especially big but the power and authority of the punch is hard to believe...

91The Wine Advocate

Game, musk, Latakia tobacco, and dark berries in the nose of the Domaine’s 2007 Richebourg foreshadow flavors of salted tart black fruits, roasted game, and hints of black pepper and tar, all underlain by mouth-coating...

91Stephen Tanzer

Captivating aromas of red fruits, minerals, coffee and earth, with a slightly intrusive leesy quality. Sweet and sappy, showing stronger fruit, ...with enticing saline, peppery lift to the middle palate.

18Jancis Robinson

Especially pale. Wonderfully spicy seductive nose. A little less rigid than Romanée-St-Vivant, more spice and sweet flesh. Racy and upright and pretty like Aubert de Villaine himself really. Definitely more delicate than the 2008s. Precise.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
