This is the greatest Richebourg around and a wine of a lifetime. Its red color is light but not as transparent as the wines of Madame usually are, demonstrating a distinct texture. The aroma is absolutely kaleidoscopic and epic, truly unique as are the sensations it provokes. The bouquet is full of incense, balsamic sensations and notes of oriental spice and citrus. The mouthfeel brings together freshness with tannins that are so fine and thick that it is impossible not to swallow. The wine’s aristocratic density explodes and disappears leaving you breathless and a bit stunned.
Price: A limited production makes this very rare, 4,000-5,000 euros.
