The 2012 Gros Frere & Soeur Richebourg 750 ml is from the Richebourg region of Burgundy.
The 2012 Richebourg Grand Cru comes from Bernard’s 0.68-hectare parcel between Cros Parantoux and Aux Brulees towards the upper part of the slope. It has the best bouquet by far: fragrant redcurrant and raspberry fruit, palpable mineralite and engaging floral scents emerging with time, all very well defined and carrying the oak with ease. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, well-judged acidity and a sense of composure and grace on the focused finish. There are touches of licorice just lingering on the long aftertaste. This is very fine full-bodied Richebourg that is ravishing and decadent.-NM
Fragrant and expressive, featuring cherry, spice, smoke and bacon fat aromas and flavors, this red is balanced and fresh, with excellent drive and resonance on the lingering mineral aftertaste. Drink now through 2022. 112 cases imported. — BS (02/2016)
Not surprisingly, the 2012 Richebourg is quite reticent. Crushed rose petals, mint, anise and incense emerge, but only with great reluctance. Firm tannins dominate in a wine built for the cellar. Today, the Richebourg is all about potential.- Antonio Galloni (01/2014)
