Tasting notes
Domaine Leroy's Richebourg 1988 is a quintessential expression of Burgundy's Pinot Noir. Known for their natural winemaking practices, Leroy crafts wines that seem almost magical. This Richebourg is no exception, made entirely from Pinot Noir, truly deserving of its Grand Cru status in Burgundy.
This wine appeared in Volume 33 of 'The Drops of God'. Robert experienced it, and the aroma was so magnificent that it felt like the room had turned into a flower field. Imagine that moment when you open the bottle and the fragrance envelops you, making the experience almost tangible.
In the glass, it shows a garnet hue with a touch of orange, indicating its age. The aroma is stunning, with hints of violets, raspberries, and a touch of tea, creating a complex, deep bouquet. On the palate, it's round and powerful, yet retains a certain delicacy. The acidity is smooth, and the tannins are velvety, gently spreading across your tongue.
The finish is long, like a melody that quietly lingers. Enjoying this wine reminds you of the profound allure of Burgundy. When you open it, use a large glass and take your time to savor it.
