 Tasted by cephomer on 10/12/2023 & rated 97 points: Drank at our Bucket wine dinner last week. Notes are mostly from memory. Medium red in color, looked older than it is. Generous nose of red fruit and earth, perhaps with a tad of barnyard. On the palate, incredible depth and concentration of fruit, intensely powerful. Gobs of spice too, particularly on the back end. Noticeable stemminess too, which just added to the overly complex nature of this wonderful wine. Big, powerful, masculine, overwhelming complexity & depth; yet, quite balanced and elegant. If I have one complaint, it's still a bit tannic due to its youthfulness. Give it at least another 5 years to really blossom. Nonetheless, it is today a superb wine. (1318 views)
 Tasted by clayfu on 8/17/2023: young. Like all things 05 at the top end. Needs more time. How many btls will be sacrificed in the name of science until these 05s start to evolve past their current buttoned up state? (1576 views)
 Tasted by Xiaot on 7/9/2023 & rated 94 points: need more time to wake it up (1386 views)
 Tasted by Luke Wine on 11/16/2022: No one seems to want to admit it (because we all paid so much money for the wines) but there is an issue with Brettanomyces in many of the wines in 2005 from DRC. I’ve now seen a Richebourg, a couple of RSV’s and a La Tache that all have the pox. Honestly I wouldn’t open anymore 05’s if you hate Brett in your wine, send them off to auction and reinvest in the cooler vintages where Brett seems to be less of an issue from this producer. (2298 views)
 Tasted by BaroloRob on 3/4/2022 & rated 96 points: Delicious but way to young. (2814 views)
 Tasted by Topper on 2/24/2022 & rated 96 points: Great wine. Massive and slightly clenched with the tannins slightly hiding the fruit. Will be an amazing wine, but likely not for ten more years. (2390 views)
 Tasted by ubercuvee on 11/14/2021 & rated 100 points: With the caveat that a bottle of this costs the same as a small car: it’s as good as wine gets. Phenomenal intensity of liqueur fruit in the nose and plate with complete weightlessness. As it evolves in the glass, notes of earth and nutmeg emerge. Wow. It’s notably ahead of DRC 05 RSV alongside (2759 views)
 Tasted by bill00 on 8/18/2021 & rated 98 points: Another incredible bottle following one from a few months ago. '05 DRC are spectacular and totally open for business. (2644 views)
 Tasted by bill00 on 5/9/2021 & rated 98 points: Outstanding vintage of this wine. There's the typical light stemmy spice but there's so much depth of fruit and material here that it kind of fades into the background and plays a lesser role than usual. Despite the power and depth it is perfectly balanced and composed. Showing layers of complexity with likely more to come in time. Love this. (2519 views)
 Tasted by ricardito on 7/23/2020 & rated 98 points: In a Galaxy Far, Far Away - Richebourg ! (Vancouver, BC, Canada): Medium red colour with nose mute at first. After 2 hours and aerial acrobatics with the glass, a Scentimental Rose fragrance appeared with star anise and blueberries. Thundering mid-palatal grip with Tayberries and intense structured Arctic Cranberries and no evidence of stems as so described in countless recent tasting notes. One wonders about the storage or authenticity of bottles so tasted, as this original purchase bottling clearly demonstrates that these stems as part of the whole cluster fermentation were perfectly mature-or the fruit was so massive that any “stemminess” was easily sidelined by the caliber of the fruit in this celebrated vintage. Ethereal finish of Montmorency cherries with a hint of Saishikomi soy. Closed now but wish I had 3 cases of this impressive elixir to enjoy in 15 years, when it’s open for business, with my son Thor who was born in 2005. (3436 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 6/12/2020 & rated 98 points: As good as Richebourg gets imho. The floral and stem aromatics are accentuated with a feral, wild quality. Unending depth and complexity on palate. A wine that silences a raucous table, demanding undivided attention. (3408/13882) (3322 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 1/17/2020 & rated 98 points: Simply wonderful. Stem city with some vitamin. Full, mineral palate with coffee notes. (5301/13882) (3275 views)
 Tasted by KoalaHK on 1/17/2020: Drunk at Castellana Hong Kong - Richebourg tasting - Spectacular nose, ubiquitous stems, plenty of tannin but in no way jarring. The structure will carry this wine anywhere it chooses to go. (3046 views)
 Tasted by Astrophel on 7/16/2019: Tasted twice in last few months and second bottle wasn't showing at all like the first, so this note discounts that second bottle and is indicative only of the first, perfect bottle. The perfume immediately told me it was DRC; no one else can produce that nose. The aroma was an attack of relentless stems and dark richebourg spice - it was a deluge of purple and the wine did great justice to the brooding terroir that is Richebourg. Just such an insanely powerful nose that I could smell all day. This is a nose with which you fall in love. The palate had waves of delicious, compacted, blue and black fruit that seemingly went on forever. A magnificent wine. Not at all backwards or closed. Just sensational. XXXX. (2434 views)
 Tasted by bthatton on 3/17/2019 & rated 98 points: Positively beautiful. A deep, earthy, multifaceted experience with the essential "asian spice" notes and seemingly unending length. Very very fine. Not heavy and drinking nicely still with seemingly primary fruit. Would love to revisit in 10 years+. (2912 views)
 Tasted by fcxj on 3/16/2018 & rated 98 points: DRC Richebourg vertical. Unbelievable wine that's feral, energetic and complex. Intensely brawny, animalistic, bacon fat and vitamin aromatics paired with then disconcertingly mineral, pure and lucid palate. Goes on and on and on, wow. (10554/13882) (4544 views)
 Tasted by BradE on 7/10/2015: Farve-a-thon 4.0: Dark, deep, rich, and clearly will be a stud. Young, but we took one for the team. (6863 views)
 Tasted by mjg87 on 7/10/2015: Talk about baby-killing! Dark and spicy, this is a big wine. It continued to open up until the last drop but you can tell that this has so much potential and will be killer in a couple decades. (6576 views)
 Tasted by beatles on 7/8/2015 & rated 95 points: At a White Horse Tavern in the north country: Served non-blind as a single before the real deal of the night, this was amazing and certainly in contention for WOTN; there is juice and body here, and while there is certainly much more to come, the fruit carries this one nicely and it's pure joy to drink. The surface is dust and minerals, backbone is firm - serous stuff. 95+ (6846 views)
 Tasted by rnellans on 3/1/2014 & rated 96 points: I know…this is a baby killer. Huge expressive nose from the get go. Very dark. Spice, dark fruited. Burg funk. Very comples aromas. Very big structure that is so well balanced. No secondary. In it for the long haul. (7287 views)
 Tasted by fclarity on 1/6/2013 & rated 92 points: Tasted blind, I don't usually taste wine this young. However, if pressed I will do my duty! The high- intensity nose of rhubarb, blackcherry, smoked meat, and soil was starting to evolve and was very well integrated.

In the mouth, this was medium+ bodied with nice fruit complexity and rounded tannin. While clearly way too young to show its best right now, this wine should pick up numerous points with 20-30 years of bottle age. This should be outstanding! (7693 views)
 Tasted by Tavastgatan on 2/6/2011 & rated 96 points: As expected this is as serious wine, but it was unexpectedly open for business. No infanticide here. The nose is just lovely, but with quite a bit of oak. Tons of magic fruit and everything is balanced and well integrated. As with other Richebourgs that I have had it is hard to break out any details, the impression is rather that of a great whole. In any case, a very fine bottle of wine. (7467 views)
 Tasted by Alex G. on 2/7/2010: DRC Superbowl (Phoenix, AZ): Cola is the most prominent note in this wine, it's utterly different in every way from '06. Intense, powerful, and clearly in need of time. (8036 views)

Burgundy-Report (4/1/2008)
(Romanée-Conti Richebourg) A wide nose - not so deep and focused as the Vivant, but rather fine and edged with higher-tones and caramel. After 30 minutes there is more definition and focus with a lovely floral aspect. On the palate the effect is very specific; it stains your tongue with complex flavours - but without apparent weight - now that’s impressive. Faintly furry tannin, super-wide and beautifully textured. I don’t think this wine is showing all it has, but what it does show is completely stunning - a wow wine.

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti

Le millésime 2012 (notes du domaine):

Certains millésimes connaissent des accouchements faciles : le vigneron intervient tranquillement et peu souvent, comme le fait l'équipage d'un voilier qui navigue par temps calme. Mais il n'est pas rare que le parcours vers la naissance du millésime s'apparente plutôt à la guerre, à une lutte de tous les instants pour garder le bateau à flot et arriver au but sans trop de dommages !

Ce fut le cas en 2012, qui restera un millésime unique - mais lequel ne l'est pas ! - dont se souviendront longtemps ceux qui étaient en première ligne dans les combats que nous a imposés la nature en mettant en avant ses meilleurs « soldats » : le mildiou et l'oïdium.

Le mois de mars fut pourtant très sec et quasi estival (22° de moyenne), ce qui entraina un débourrement plus précoce encore qu'en 2007, année de référence pour la précocité. Nous nous voyions vendanger en Août ! Mais de ce mois hors norme, ce qui aura finalement marqué nos mémoires, ce sont les coups de tonnerre du 26 mars, très exceptionnels pour la saison, mais prémonitoires de ce que les dieux réservaient à Nicolas Jacob, notre chef de culture, et à son équipe.

A partir d'avril, le changement est en effet radical : le froid (- 2° le 13 avril) et l'humidité s'installent. Résultat : impossible d'entrer dans les vignes pour labourer et l'herbe pousse follement, encouragée et entretenue par les pluies. Pour les mêmes raisons nous avons à surmonter les plus grandes difficultés pour les traitements : il faut guetter et profiter de la moindre fenêtre de temps sec pour apporter la protection nécessaire. Malgré une vigilance de tous les instants, le mildiou se manifeste et attaque même très fort, supprimant un pourcentage de la récolte difficile à évaluer, mais réel. L'oïdium, lui aussi, trouve des conditions de développement favorables. Et la grêle s'en mêle, frappant toute la Côte de Beaune et entre autres notre Montrachet le 30 juin.

La floraison commence vers le 9 juin, mais elle s'étire sur un mois à cause des conditions froides qui persistent. Il en découle une coulure importante.

Bilan de ces trois mois où il a plu un jour sur trois ! :
- une récolte d'ores et déjà réduite, suite à la coulure et au mildiou, et qui risque d'être hétérogène en maturité à cause de la floraison très étalée ;
- mais en même temps la coulure a créé un pourcentage intéressant de raisins millerands, ce qui est toujours facteur de bonne qualité ;
des vignes vigoureuses et en bonne santé ;

- et bien sûr l'année, d'exceptionnellement précoce, est devenue quasiment normale, la floraison laissant entrevoir des vendanges vers la fin septembre seulement.

Fin juin dernier épisode printanier « excentrique » : une canicule de quelques jours qui a pour résultat de griller les jeunes baies les plus exposées au soleil, diminuant encore la récolte et augurant d'un tri supplémentaire au moment de la vendange pour faire tomber les baies grillées.

En juillet la nature enfin s'assagit. Nous avons subi des pertes, mais l'ennemi « fait retraite ». Grâce à ces conditions plus clémentes, nous pouvons reprendre efficacement le travail du sol en effectuant dans certains cas trois passages de labour afin de libérer la vigne des herbes qui l'envahissaient. Nous effectuons les derniers traitements de précaution début août et...il ne nous reste plus pour la suite qu'à compter sur une météo qui se rapproche enfin des normales de saison.

C'est ce qui s'est finalement passé...

Le mois d'août a été chaud et beau avec une canicule et des orages autour du 15 août. Chaque fois, malgré le vent orienté souvent au Sud, le beau temps sec est revenu. La vigne ayant été largement abreuvée par le temps pluvieux qui avait précédé a nourri généreusement les raisins, la photosynthèse a été favorisée et la production de sucre a progressé très rapidement. A la veille des vendanges on avait :
- des grappes de petite taille présentant des raisins à peau très épaisse et un fortpourcentage de baies millerandées ;
- de la grillure sur la face exposée au soleil d'un nombre important de grappes, suite aux canicules, notamment celle de juin ;
sur certaines grappes, une ou deux baies n'ayant jamais « vér頻, c'est-à-dire restées vertes, qui seront rejetées lors du tri de la vendange ;
- botrytis inexistant.

En bref, une vendange très saine qui pouvait attendre une maturité complète. C'est ce que nous avons fait, prenant le risque, pour décider de la date des vendanges, d'aller bien au-delà des cent jours qui normalement séparent celles-ci de la mi-floraison de la vigne.

Nous avons finalement vendangé les raisins de Corton et de quelques jeunes vignes sur Vosne-Romanée à partir du vendredi 21 septembre avec une équipe réduite et nous avons commencé les « grandes » vendanges sur Vosne-Romanée le lundi 24 septembre. Le temps s'est malheureusement dégradé à partir de mardi et le mercredi 26, il a plu toute la journée ! Nous avons bien entendu arrêté totalement les vendanges ce jour-là et avons vécu dans l'angoisse, car on pouvait craindre de fortes attaques de botrytis le lendemain.

Mais deux phénomènes ont concouru avec une totale efficacité à préserver le raisin : d'une part les peaux des baies exceptionnellement épaisses et résistantes, et d'autre part une température froide, et même exagérément froide pour la saison ne permettant pas au botrytis de se développer. La vendange reste exceptionnellement saine. Comme chaque année nous avons néanmoins procédé à une sélection sur la vendange : Comme chaque année nous avons néanmoins procédé à une sélection sur la vendange : celle-ci a consisté à faire tomber les baies grillés et également les quelques baies non « vérées », en d'autres termes le tri a été minime et le personnel à la table de tri a vu défiler une récolte qui, au point de vue sanitaire, est l'une des plus belles de ces dernières années. Le temps restant frais, les températures de rentrée de vendanges ont été excellentes, autour de 15°, ce qui a permis une macération de quelques jours avant un départ en fermentation lent et progressif.

Les fermentations durent maintenant depuis près de trois semaines sous le contrôle « amoureux » de Bernard Noblet et de ses cavistes. Les premiers tirages ont été effectués, notamment celui de la Romanée-Conti qu'étant donné son état de maturité nous avons vendangé la première. Les vins sont très prometteurs avec de belles robes et des arômes frais et délicats.



Il faut introduire dans ce rapport un chapitre à part pour le Montrachet, qui comme toute la Côte de Beaune, a été grêlé deux fois au cours de l'été. Là les raisins ont beaucoup souffert. Nous avons vendangé le vendredi 28 septembre, c'est-à-dire avant la fin de nos vendanges rouges. C'est une récolte abîmée par la grêle, le botrytis et l'oïdium que nous avons rentrée et qu'il a fallu trier de manière extrêmement sévère. Il en est résulté une toute petite récolte, la plus minime de ces dernières années. Nous comptons sur une excellente qualité, mais le rendement ne représente même pas la moitié de la normale.

Pour les vins rouges, les rendements tournent autour de 20hl/ha, ce qui est de 25% environ en dessous de la normale que nous situons à 25hl/ha. A titre de comparaison, les 2009 ont donné des rendements moyens de 30hl/ha.

Une récolte comme celle que nous venons de terminer nous fait prendre conscience encore plus s'il le fallait de l'importance du pari - et de la chance - dans la réussite ou l'échec face à un millésime. Répétant ce que je disais l'an dernier, il est capital d'attendre la maturité complète du raisin. Ce fut plus facile cette année avec une récolte parfaitement saine que l'an dernier où le botrytis était important. Mais, dans les deux cas, il fallait attendre la maturité complète et nous avons eu la chance que les conditions météorologiques soient devenues notre alliée en conservant un temps froid qui a permis aux raisins de passer, sans attaque de botrytis, à travers les pluies très importantes que nous avons connues le mercredi 26 septembre.

Il est certain que la perte de récolte consécutive aux attaques du mildiou et la grillure de certaines grappes a été importante, mais cette perte en quantité est aussi un facteur qui a favorisé la qualité, puisqu'il en est résulté un éclaircissage naturel qui, en diminuant le rendement, permet au raisin sain de mieux mûrir. Il est fort possible que nous n'aurions pas atteint de telles maturité et qualité s'il n'y avait pas eu ces pertes à supporter.

Pinot Noir

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.


Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.

Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.

The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.

Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.

In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.

With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.

Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
