Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Richebourg Grand Cru is a little more backward than the premiers crus that preceded it, opening in the glass with notes of strawberry compote, cherries, raw cocoa, espresso roast and a lavish application of new oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and enveloping, with a textural, concentrated profile underpinned by succulent acids. My sense is that this will come together very positively with further élevage. There's certainly a sweetness to the fruit here that recalls Méo's very successful 2003 vintage, as well as the freshness and structure to ensure balance.

This too is aromatically quite reserved with reticent aromas of overtly floral-suffused dark berry fruit that is also cut with spiced Asian pekoe tea and sandalwood nuances. The outsized, intense and tautly muscular flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration where the sappy dry extract helps to buffer the very firm but not hard tannins shaping the explosively long, powerful and beautifully balanced finish. This is a veritable 'wow' wine.

The Méos' two parcels in this brilliant Grand Cru add up to 0.35ha and consistently produce one of the most complete expressions of the terroir. This has aromas of wild herbs and ginger spice, scented vanilla oak, supple, plushly textured raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, velvety tannins and enough acidity and minerality for balance. The 80 new oak is expertly judged.
