Moderately firm reduction overshadows the fruit today. Otherwise there is excellent richness and vibrancy to the lightly mineral-inflected and very, very serious big-bodied flavors that deliver impressive length. Curiously though the depth is presently limited though Richebourg has an uncanny knack of developing outstanding complexity with time in bottle so it's entirely possible that my projected range may eventually prove to be overly conservative.

The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru comes from 0.6 hectares of vine in the lieu-dit of Le Véroilles and is matured in 90 new oak. There is a touch of reduction on the nose, although it dissipates with aeration in the glass to reveal ample blackberry and raspberry fruit, crushed stone and just a touch of black truffle. The medium-bodied palate displays fine tannin and impressive balance. Not as powerful as the 2015 that wowed back at the Burgfest tasting, but it fans out beautifully toward the finish. This is a Richebourg of great purity and grace.
