Goedhuis, January 2008
An entrance of amazingly fleshy fruit but which is superbly buttressed by its pronounced, fine tannins. One of the more masculine Richebourgs we tasted on our trip that had impressive concentration and length. Its finish just did not stop. An everlasting gobstopper. Drink 2011 - 2024+.

Burghound, January 2009, Score: 94
This is fresh, expressive, pure and stunningly spicy with its black pinot fruit and a host of subtle Asian sauce nuances, including hoisin and soy that can also be found on the deep, serious, tautly muscled and mineral-suffused broad shouldered flavors brimming with dry extract that really coats the palate on the vibrant and hugely long and explosive finish. Most impressive and while it can't match the '05 for sheer size, weight and grandeur, this is actually ever so slightly more elegant and there is so much material present that it could surprise to the upside. Terrific. Drink: 2018+.Notes: from Richebourg proper.

In contrast to the reduced condition of its grands crus stable mates, this is fresh, expressive, pure and stunningly spicy with its black pinot fruit and a host of subtle Asian sauce nuances, including hoisin and soy that can also be found on the deep, serious, tautly muscled and mineral-suffused broad shouldered flavors brimming with dry extract that really coats the palate on the vibrant and hugely long finish. Most impressive and while it can't match the '05 for sheer size, weight and grandeur, this is actually ever so slightly more elegant. Drink: 2018+.Notes: from Ruchebourg proper.Comments: don't miss!
Producer
Domaine Etienne Grivot (formerly Jean Grivot)
One of the most famous names in Vosne Romanée, Domaine Grivot dates back to the nineteenth century. Over the years and marriages, the domaine grew to include vineyards in notable appellations such as Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Richebourg. Etienne, the fifth generation of the family to run the estate, returned to Burgundy from work experience in California in the 1980s. He eventually took over from his father completely in 1990. Over time and through experience, Etienne has created his own style of wine, which many tasters consider to be growing in elegance. The wines remain powerful and rich, true vins de garde, which usually need several years of cellaring to soften and develop. Those patient enough to wait know that the wines of Etienne Grivot are exceptional. In 2012 his children Mathilde and Hubert joined him at the family domaine, and the three share a united vision. It is a harmonious and collaborative family team. They eschew the trend for analysing every drop of juice, and pay much more attention to the vegetative cycle of their vines. The year’s weather conditions will dictate how the team handles the grapes in the cellar far more than the complex chemical analyses which comes back from the lab.Region
