2020 Alain Hudelot-Noellat Richebourg Grand Cru, Cote de Nuits, France 750ml

Tasting Note

An earlier malolactic than the Romanée St-Vivant makes this easier to taste. Glowing purple. Heady bouquet speaking louder than Romanée St-Vivant. Even so it is a big and backward boy. But then what a weight of fruit! This is really magnificent. Cloaked in a luscious but not lush nobility with the perfect, fine tannin-plus-acidity structure behind. Very lively, a Richebourg with exquisite balance.
