About this wine

Richebourg lies above Vosne-Romanée, beside La Romanée-Conti, and produces some of the richest and most sumptuous wines of the village. Grivot's parcel is small, and his Richebourg is the domaine's top wine: deep, concentrated and perfumed, with dark fruit and a velvety but firm structure. It needs ten to fifteen years to open and can age for decades.

About Domaine Jean Grivot

Domaine Jean Grivot is a family estate in Vosne-Romanée, run for several decades by Étienne Grivot, who has since been joined by his daughter Mathilde. It holds vineyards in Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Clos de Vougeot and Echézeaux, with a small parcel of Richebourg.

The domaine is known for careful vineyard work and wines of depth and purity that reflect their sites. Its Vosne-Romanée premiers crus and grands crus are long-lived and well regarded, and the Richebourg in particular is sought after by collectors.
