Richebourg Grand Cru Thibault Liger-Belair 2010
The wine
Richebourg is made from vines planted in 1936; this is a deep, refined wine and quite exceptional. It presents aromas of black fruit and soft red fruit, notes of spices, violets and the undergrowth. It is immediately extremely elegant on the palate with fine, softened tannins, freshness and aromas of coffee and acidic red fruit; it has impressive length. A truly top cuvée with great aging potential, which could accompany poultry or veal beautifully.
