Richebourg is the velvety, voluptuous one — the Grand Cru that trades Romanée-Conti's laser focus for sheer sensual depth. DRC farms a substantial chunk of this cru (they share it with a handful of other owners), and their bottling consistently ranks among the most layered, hedonistic wines in the cellar. The 2020 is a warm-vintage Richebourg through and through: intense ripeness, dark-fruited concentration, and a brooding, almost spiced core, all held in check by the textbook DRC framework of acidity and structure. Built for the very long haul.

"From a holding of 3.51 ha in both Richebourg proper and Les Verroilles; in 2019 .5 ha in Verroilles was pulled up and replanted in a north-south direction rather than the more typical east-west orientation. Here the notably ripe mocha-inflected nose was restrained to the point that it required aggressive swirling for several minutes before it slowly revealed it cool and exuberantly spicy nose of pure cassis, black raspberry and a plethora of floral and exotic tea elements. The super-sleek and almost painfully intense big-bodied and muscular flavors seem to be built on a base of pungent minerality, all wrapped in a massively and overtly austere and compact yet long finish that just goes and goes. There is a trace of warmth though it's not enough to materially disturb the overall sense of harmony. While the Domaine's Richebourg is always built-to-age, the dazzling 2020 version is going to be a very long-distance runner."

"The 2020 Richebourg Grand Cru is one of my favorite wine in this range, and I say that notwithstanding the fact that Richebourg is rarely a wine I truly adore, at DRC or anywhere else. Dark and somber, the 2020 is packed with blue/black fruits, mocha, lavender and graphite. The typically burly Richebourg tannins are nearly buried by the sheer intensity of the fruit. Purists might say the 2020 is not a typical Richebourg. I would agree with that, in a very positive sense. Statuesque and regal in bearing, with tons of elegance, the 2020 is utterly captivating from the first taste." —Antonio Galloni

"The 2020 Richebourg Grand Cru is wilder on the nose, revealing aromas of rich exotic spices, wild berries, cassis, coniferous forest floor, smoked meats and a discreet touch of sweet saddle leather, followed by a full-bodied, fleshy and enveloping palate that's rich and layered, with huge levels of concentration and ripe structuring tannins, concluding with a long, violet-inflected finish." —William Kelley

"Deep blackish crimson. Light nose of blackberry compote. And this is surprisingly fleet of foot – somehow less sturdy and more ethereal than the Romanee-St-Vivant. Really lifted and fresh. Very much 21st century in style! Transparent and transporting. Savoury and somehow a health drink the way some DRC wines present themselves."

"The Richebourg is noticeably darker in colour than the other wines. There is an inky black concentration of plum and mulberry fruit with abundant mineral, earth, and spice notes. The old vines give a wine of intensity and structure that is a bit slow to evolve. It is more reticent than the Grands Echézeaux, and it took most of the luncheon for the wine to open up and show its potential. This is not a wine for early drinking, but with some time in the cellar it should be magnificent. 11,898 bottles were produced."

"Richebourg, is the opposite. Flamboyant, it boasts cherry, strawberry, floral and spice aromas and flavors. Perhaps less elegant on the finish than RSV, it’s hard to deny its charm, succulence and lingering aftertaste."
