Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg Grand Cru 2021

The Richebourg 2021 from Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is a masterpiece of energy and purity, interpreting the most intimate essence of the Côte de Nuits through the lens of a vintage defined by rigor and grace. In a year marked by exceptionally low yields, DRC produced a Richebourg of rare aromatic intensity and tactile depth, where the strength of the terroir is expressed with crystalline precision.

The 2021 vintage, fresh and complex, enhanced the natural mineral tension of the climat, resulting in a wine of architectural finesse and absolute definition. The bouquet opens with austere elegance: blackcurrant, cherry, violet, pink pepper, black tea, incense, and flint. On the palate, the wine is deep and taut, with a texture of ultra-fine tannins merging into a sculpted, linear structure. The persistence is extraordinary, with a long, mineral, and luminous finish that reveals the meditative and introspective side of Richebourg.

A wine that unites power and spirituality, rigor and seduction, confirming once again DRC’s ability to transform even a challenging vintage into an expression of absolute balance.
