About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of Pinot NoirBurgundy, FranceDomaine de la Romanée-Conti is rightly considered the epitome of all the world's Pinot Noir. "DRC" is the king of Burgundy and highly sought after the world over. The 2007 Richebourg is a wine that although powerful is quite silken in texture. Bright violet notes with lots of floral notes, and red fruits. Quite succulent and drinkable despite its youth. A nice firm structure with a incomparable length, the 07 Richebourg will live for many years.

Light bodied red wines have a water-light mouthfeel and light flavour impact. Often pale to light/medium in colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Vintage 2007
92-95 points www.burghound.com
A much more restrained, even taciturn nose that is actually quite ripe, spicy, fresh and diaphanous features primarily floral infused red berry, mineral and Asian spice aromas that merge gracefully into supple, round and tautly muscled broad-shouldered flavors that are almost as pure as those of the RSV, all wrapped in a detailed, focused and almost painfully intense finish brimming with minerality and striking length. This is a karate champion of a wine that isn't especially big but the power of the punch is hard to believe.
