2014 Domaine A.-F. Gros Richebourg

In the hierarchy of Grand Crus, La Tâche, Romanée-Conti and Musigny are undeniably at the top of the pyramid (in any order you personally prefer). I place Richebourg next in line - it is a simply magnificent terroir that produces wines of sublime richness with textures of the finest velvet.
Anne-Françoise now has three parcels of Richebourg that total 1.48 acres, the latest piece coming from a swap with her brother Michel, who needed his sister's piece of Clos de Réas to complete his monopole in that 1er Cru.
This is flat-out the best current-release wine I've tasted from our producers all year, period. It's world-class, completely on another level - one of those wines that can transport you to a place where you get a glimpse of the divine. Give it 'til 2021+ in your cellar and prepare to be be transformed.
