This plot was acquired by my father, Jean, in 1984 and produces rich, powerful, complex wines with good length on the palate and very good cellaring potential. It is one of the best plots in Vosne-Romanée and Burgundy.

In his book Côte d'Or published in 1997 Clive Coates writes "Richebourg is undisputably the best of the non-monopoly grands crus of Vosne. It is fuller, fatter, richer, more intense and generous, but more masculine and long-lasting than Romanée-Saint-Vivant. At its best it can offer an explosion of flavours: coffee and chocolate when young, violets when mature; all within a cornucopia of small black and red fruits. I count some Richebourgs among the greatest Burgundies I have ever tasted. 'Sumptuous', said Camille Rodier more than sixty years ago. How I agree!"
