{"title":"Richebourg Grand Cru","description":"\u003cp\u003eRichebourg is one of the six Grands Crus of Vosne-Romanée, recognized on September 11, 1936, and reserved for reds from Pinot Noir. The vines, about \u003cstrong\u003e8 hectares\u003c\/strong\u003e at the foot of the slope between 260 and 290 meters, face east, just north of Romanée-Conti, and bring together two lieux-dits, Les Richebourgs and Les Véroilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name is recorded from 1512. On the eve of the Revolution the abbey of Cîteaux owned just over a hectare here and made its reputation; even then, however, the cru was \u003cstrong\u003edivided among several owners\u003c\/strong\u003e, as it is today. In 1816 Jullien placed it in the first class, and in 1855 Dr. Lavalle ranked it tête de cuvée hors ligne. In the early twentieth century the wines of the neighboring lieu-dit Les Véroilles were sold as Richebourg: an agreement among the owners, ratified by the Dijon Court of Appeal in 1924, included them in the climat, and the AOC adopted its boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subsoil is Bajocian marl and soft limestone, beneath a thin layer of debris, clays, and silts reddened by iron oxides; the soils, thin and clayey, drain well. The wine combines power and charm: solid and structured yet harmonious, with ripe red and black fruits, musk, leather, and humus, long persistence, and decades of life ahead. The available bottles, when there are any, appear further down.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"domaine-de-la-romanee-conti-richebourg-grand-cru-2019-075","title":"Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru 2019 AOC 0,75l","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eDomaine de la Romanee-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru 2019 AOC 0,75l is a bottle that embodies Burgundy’s austere elegance, originating from the Richebourg cru in the heart of the Côte de Nuits, between Vosne-Romanée, a land of clay, marl, and chalk that imprint a distinct mineral character on the wine. The Domaine de la Romanee-Conti estate safeguards one of the region’s most recognizable histories: an ongoing commitment to the authentic expression of terroir, with practices that prioritize careful vineyard management, hand harvesting, and a cellar that combines tradition with rigor during aging. The estate’s identity revolves around a conservative yet dynamic vision of wine, in which the vintage is understood as a dialogue between light, soil, and time, rather than simply as a harvest of fruit. The 2019 vintage, characterized by balanced ripeness and freshness, gives the Richebourg Grand Cru a pronounced structure capable of evolving with age without losing clarity: a bouquet that blends deep red fruit, earthy notes, and a subtle spicy character, with a minerality that lingers on the palate. The tactile impression is one of refined texture: polished tannins, a broad palate, and a length that invites further patience without forcing the complexity to leave the stage. Compared with other wines from the same context, this Richebourg Grand Cru stands out for a completeness that never gives in to excess, instead maintaining a balance between power and finesse, drawing on a depth born from the interaction between soil and microclimate. Within the range offered by the producer, the 2019 ranks among the cuvées that define the estate’s evolutionary horizon, providing a solid foundation for those wishing to understand the long-aging approach typical of this identity. For those seeking a bottle capable of accompanying complex dishes or becoming an integral part of a fine collection, the 0,75-liter version represents a benchmark of authenticity and longevity. With STELT, this choice expresses commitment, restraint, and a promise of precision that endures over time.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Romanee-Conti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57049304891717,"sku":"DOMDE-RICGRACRU-BOU-19-075","price":4148.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/files\/Domaine-de-la-Romanee-Conti-Richebourg-Grand-Cru-2019-AOC-075l.jpg?v=1788874795"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/7376\/7237\/collections\/3840px-Lage_Richebourgs.jpg?v=1794671170","url":"https:\/\/steltwines.com\/en\/collections\/richebourg-grand-cru.oembed","provider":"STELT - Vini Pregiati \u0026 Champagne","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
